Answer »Answer: (d)
Minimum cost price

a) Rs.498.4
b) Rs.784
c) Rs.1,000
d) Rs.300
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 3,If an object is sold on r% Profit.
then,S.P. = C.P$[{100 + \text"Profit%"}/100]$orC.P. = S.P$[100/{100 + \text"Profit%"}]$
Similarly, If an object is sold on r% loss, then
S.P. = C.P.$[{100 - \text"Loss%"}/100]$orC.P. = S.P$[100/{100 - \text"Loss%"}]$
C.P. of article = $100/{100 - \text"loss per cent"}$ × S.P.
= $100/96 × 960$ = Rs.1000
