    Let the printed price of the article be ₹ 100
    Discount = 40%
    C.P. = ₹ (100 – 40) = ₹ 60
    S.P. = ₹ 100

    ∴  Gain % =
    40
    		 × 100
    60

    Correct Option: C

    Let the printed price of the article be ₹ 100
    Discount = 40%
    C.P. = ₹ (100 – 40) = ₹ 60
    S.P. = ₹ 100

    ∴  Gain % =
    40

    ⇒ y =
    40 × 90
    		 = Rs. 30
    120

    We can find required answer with the help of given formula :
    Here, D = 10%, r = 20%, M.P. = Rs. 40, C.P. = ?
    M.P.
    		 =
    100 + r
    C.P.100 − D

    Correct Option: C

    Given that , marked price = Rs. 40 , discount = 10% , profit = 20%
    Let C.P. of article = Rs. y

    M.P.
    		 =
    100 + r
    C.P.100 − D

    40
    		 =
    100 + 20
    C.P.100 − 10

    C.P. =
