Option 1: 2,000
Option 2: 1,800
Option 3: 1,920
Option 4: 1,840
Correct Answer: 1,920
Solution : Let the cost price be $x$. Profit % earned by selling at Rs. 2000 = $\frac{2000-x} {x}\times 100$ Loss % earned by selling at Rs. 2000 = $\frac{x-1200} {x}\times 100$ So, $\frac{2000-x} {x}\times 100=\frac{x-1200} {x}\times 100$ ⇒ $2000-x=x-1200$ ⇒ $x=(\frac{2000+1200}{2})$ $\therefore x$ = Rs. 1600
