Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Let CP of the watch be Rs. x. According to the question, $ \frac{x\times (100+10)}{100}-\frac{x\times (100-5)}{100}=56.25 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{110x}{100}-\frac{95x}{100}=56.25 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{15x}{100}=56.25 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=\frac{56.25\times 100}{15}=\frac{5625}{15} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=Rs.,375 $
