Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs. 5700 Given: The selling prices of water bottle and pillow were same. The profit incurred on the pillow set was double than the profit incurred on selling the bottle. The cost price of the bottle was Rs. 600 more than the cost price of the pillow set. Total profit of Rs. 1800 and profit percentage on selling the bottle was 200/17%. Formula Used: Profit or Gain = Selling price – Cost Price Loss = Cost Price – Selling Price Profit percentage = (Profit/Cost Price) x 100 Loss percentage = (Loss/Cost price) x 100 Calculation: The profit incurred on the pillow set was double than the profit incurred on selling the bottle. Profit on pillow = Rs. 1200 Profit on bottle = Rs. 600 ⇒ 200/17% = 600 ⇒ 1% = 51 ⇒ 100% = 5100 = cost price of bottle So, cost price of pillow = Rs. 4500 Selling price of pillow = Rs. (4500 + 1200) = Rs. 5700 ∴ Selling price is Rs. 5700 |
