A man sells an article at 5% above its cost price.\f he had bough tit at 5% less than what he had paid for it and sold it at 2 less, he would have gained 10%. The cost price of the article is
Let the cost price be Rs.x
Then Selling price = Rs. 1.05 x
If he had bough tit at 5% less than what he had paid for it and sold it at 2 less, he would have gained 10%,
new cost price = .95 x
new selling price = 1.05 - 2
$$\frac{1.05x - 2 - .95x}{.95x} \times 100 = 10$$
x = 400
So, the answer would be option d)Rs.400
