Question 13

On Selling a book at $$\frac{9}{14}$$ of the marked price there is loss of 10%. What will be the ratio of marked price and cost price of the book?

Solution

Let marked price of the book = Rs. $$140x$$

=> Selling price = $$\frac{9}{14}\times140x=Rs.$$ $$90x$$

Loss % = 10%

=> Cost price = $$\frac{90x}{(100-10)}\times100=Rs.$$ $$100x$$

$$\therefore$$ Ratio of marked price and cost price of the book = $$\frac{140x}{100x}=7:5$$

=> Ans - (D)
