Marks: +1, -0

The marked price of an article is

₹ 1360

. If a shopkeeper sold the article at

15 \%

loss after giving

25 \%

discount, then the cost price of the article is

₹ 1200
₹ 1600
₹ 1400
₹ 1500

Solution:

Given, marked price of the article

=₹ 1360

Discount

=25 \%

∴

Selling price of the article

=\;{\;\text " Marked price "\; ×(100-\;\text " Discount\% "\;)}/{100}

=\;{1360 × 75}/{100}=₹ 1020

Given, loss

=15 \%

∴

Cost price

\;\; =\;{\;\text " Selling price "\; × 100}/{(100-\;\text " Loss "\; \%)}

\;\; =\;{1020 × 100}/{(100-15)}=\;{102000}/{85}=₹ 1200
