Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- $ MP=600, $ discount $ (d)=15 $ %
$ SP=85% $ of $ 600=\frac{85}{100}\times 600=Rs\text{. 510} $
$ SP=Rs.510 $ and $ gain%=20 $ %
$ CP=\frac{100}{120}\times 510=Rs\text{. 425} $
$ CP=425, $ $ MP=600 $
Gain% = $ \frac{175}{425},\times ,100,=,\frac{700}{17} $ % = $ 41\frac{3}{17} $ %
