Question : Study the given table and answer the question that follows.
The table shows the marked prices (in) and percentages of discounts offered for five different products.
| Product | Marked | Discount % |
| P | 750 | 12 |
| Q | 900 | 15 |
| R | 1,020 | 30 |
| S | 1,200 | 25 |
| T | 590 | 10 |
If product Q is sold at 53% profit and product S is sold at 80% profit, then what will be the sum of the cost prices of Q and S ?
Option 1: INR 1,100
Option 2: INR 800
Option 3: INR 1,000
Option 4: INR 1,200
Correct Answer: INR 1,000
Solution :
Let the cost price of product Q be $x$.
Selling price of product Q = 0.85 × 900
Sold at 53% profit on it.
Then, $0.85 × 900 = 1.53x$
⇒ $x=\frac{0.85×900}{1.53}=500$
Now,
Let the cost price of product S be $y$.
Selling price of product S = 0.75 × 1200
Sold at 80% profit on it.
Then, $0.75 × 1200 = 1.8y$
⇒ $y=\frac{0.75×1200}{1.8}=500$
⇒ Q + S = 500 + 500 = 1000
Hence, the correct answer is INR 1000.
