Option 1: INR 1050

Option 2: INR 1230

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 1050


Solution : List price = INR 1800
Discount = 30% of list price = 0.3 × 1800 = 540
Selling price = List price – Discount = 1800 – 540 = INR 1260
Profit = 20% of cost price
Cost price = selling price – profit

Question : 35 percent of the marked price is equal to 40 percent of the cost price. If no discount is given, then what will be the profit percentage?

Option 2: 25 percent

Option 3: 14.28 percent

Option 4: 16.66 percent

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 14.28 percent


Solution : Given: 35 percent of the marked price (MP) is equal to 40 percent of the cost price(CP).
Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Selling price – Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}}×100$
According to the question,
$MP \times \frac{35}{100}=CP\times \frac{40}{100}$
⇒ $\frac{MP}{CP}=\frac{8}{7}$
No discount was given.
So, MP = Selling
