  1. A shopkeeper sold a TV set for ₹ 17940, with a discount of 8% and gained 19.6%. If no discount is allowed, then what will be his gain per cent ?
    1. 25%
    2. 26.4 %
    3. 24.8%
    4. 30%
Correct Option: D

SP = 17940, Discount = 8%

∴  MP =
17940
= ₹ 19500
0.92

∴  Gain = 19.6% (given)
∴  CP =
17940
= ₹ 15000
1.196

New SP without discount = ₹ 19500
Gain = (19500 – 15000) = ₹ 4500
∴  Gain per cent =
4500
× 100 = 30%
15000
