Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Selling price of item = Rs. 8400
Loss = 25%
Selling price = Cost price $ - $ Loss
Let the cost price be $ x. $ Then, loss $ =\frac{25}{100}\times x=\frac{x}{4} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ SP=8400 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x-\frac{x}{4}=8400 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{3x}{4}=8400 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=\frac{8400\times 4}{3}=2800\times 4 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=11200 $ Required selling price $ =x+\frac{40}{100}\times x $ $ =11200+\frac{4}{10}\times 11200 $ $ =11200+4480=Rs\text{.},15680 $
