Question :26

What profit per cent is made by selling an article at a certain price, if by selling at two-third of that price there would be a loss of 20%?

Answer: (d)

Let the cost price be = Rs. 100.

$2/3$ rd of original SP = 100 – 20% of 100 = Rs. 80

∴ Original SP = ${80 × 3}/2$ = Rs. 120

∴ % profit = ${120 - 100}/100$ × 100 = 20%

Question :27

Answer: (d)

Marked Price, M = 2C, where C is cost price for 15%

gain, S.P. = C + $15/100$ = 1.15C

Let discount be x%

2C – $x/100$ × 2C = 1.15C ⇒ x = 42.5%
