  1. By selling a bag at Rs. 230, profit of 15% is made. The selling price of the bag, when it is sold at 20% profit would be
    1. Rs. 250
    2. Rs. 205
    3. Rs. 240
    4. Rs. 200
Correct Option: C

Let the C.P. of bag be Rs. y.
Selling price of bag = Rs. 230 and profit = 15%
According to the question,

y ×
115
= 230
100

⇒ y =
230 × 100
= Rs. 200
115

For profit of 20%,
S.P. of bag = Rs. 200 × 120 = Rs. 240
100
