Question 87
The Loss incurred by selling an article at Rs.335 is 60% of the gain attained by selling the same article at Rs.671. Find the cost price of the article. (in Rs)
Solution
Let cost price of the article = Rs. $$x$$
Loss = Rs. $$(x-335)$$
Profit = Rs. $$(671-x)$$
According to ques, => $$x-335=\frac{60}{100}(671-x)$$
=> $$5x-1675=2013-3x$$
=> $$5x+3x=2013+1675=3688$$
=> $$x=\frac{3688}{8}=461$$
$$\therefore$$ Cost price = Rs. 461
=> Ans - (A)
