  1. A shop-keeper sells a badminton racket whose marked price is ₹ 30, at a discount of 15% and gives a shuttle cock costing ₹ 1.50 free with each racket. Even then he makes a profit of 20%. His cost price, per racket, is
    1. ₹ 21.00
    2. ₹ 21.25
    3. ₹ 20.00
    4. ₹ 19.75
Correct Option: C

Given that , marked price = ₹ 30 , Discount = 15%
SP of racket = 85% of ₹ 30 = ₹ 25.50
One shuttle cock of ₹ 1.50 is free.
∴  Actual SP = ₹ (25.50 – 1.50) = ₹ 24
He still gains 20%

∴  CP =
100
×24 = ₹ 20
120
