  1. The cost of manufacturing an article was ₹ 900. The trader wants to gain 25% after giving a discount of 10%. The marked price must be :
    1. ₹ 1500
    2. ₹ 1250
    3. ₹ 1200
    4. ₹ 1000
Correct Option: B

Here , CP of article = ₹ 900 , discount = 10%
∴  After 25% gain , S.P. of article = 125% of 900

S.P. of article =
900 × 125
= ₹ 1125
100

Let the marked price be y
∴  90% of y = 1125
⇒  y =
1125 × 100
= ₹ 1250
90
