Let the cost price be ₹ 100.
∴ Marked price = ₹ 150S.P. = 150 × 80 = ₹ 120 100
when S.P. = 120, C.P. = 100
when S.P. = 840C.P. = 100 × 840 = ₹ 700 120
2nd method to solve this question.
Here, r = 50%, r1 = 20%,
S.P. = ₹ 840Gain % = r ×(100 − r1) − r1 100
Correct Option: B
Let the cost price be ₹ 100.
∴ Marked price = ₹ 150S.P. = 150 × 80 = ₹ 120 100
when S.P. = 120, C.P. = 100
when S.P. = 840C.P. = 100 × 840 = ₹ 700 120
2nd method to solve this question.
Here, r = 50%, r1 = 20%,
S.P. = ₹ 840Gain % = r ×(100 − r1) − r1 100 Gain % = 50 × (100 − 20) − 20 100 Gain % = 50 × 80 − 20 100
Gain % = 20%
We know that ,Gain % = S.P. − C.P. × 100 C.P. 20 = 840 − p × 100 p
20p= 84000 – 100p
120p = 84000
p = 700
