  1. By selling an article for Rs. 450, I lose 20%. For what price should I sell it to gain 20 %?
    1. Rs. 490
    2. Rs. 675
    3. Rs. 470
    4. Rs. 562.50
Correct Option: B

Given , Selling Price of article = Rs. 450 and Loss% = 20%

∴ C.P of article =
100
× Selling Price of article
( 100 - Loss% )

C.P of article =
100
× 450
100 - 20

C.P of article =
100 × 450
= Rs. 562.5
80

∴ To gain 20%
S.P. =
562.5 × 450
= Rs. 675
100
