Question 28

A man bought a watch for 10% discount.If he had bought for 20% discount he would have got the watch for ₹ 125 less . The marked price of the watch is

Solution

Let the marked price = Rs. $$100x$$

If discount % = 10%

=> Selling price = $$100x \times \frac{90}{100}=Rs.$$ $$90x$$

Similarly, when discount % = 20%

=> Selling price = $$Rs.$$ $$80x$$

According to ques,

=> $$90x-80x=125$$

=> $$10x=125$$

Multiplying by 10, => $$100x=1250$$

$$\therefore$$ The marked price of the watch = Rs. 1250

=> Ans - (B)
