Question : Rajiv sells a pen at a profit of 5 percent. If he sells the pen for Rs. 36 more, then he earns a profit of 14 percent. What is the cost price of the pen?

Option 1: Rs. 300

Option 2: Rs. 600

Option 3: Rs. 400

Option 4: Rs. 500

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 400


Solution : Let the cost price of the pen be Rs. $x$.
Selling price after 5% profit = $x+\frac{5}{100}x=1.05x$
Selling price after 14% profit = $x+\frac{14}{100}x=1.14x$
According to the question,
$1.05x+36=1.14x$
⇒ $0.09x=36$
⇒ $x=400$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 400.

⇒ $-128 + 80 + 0.3 x = 9$
⇒ $-48 +
