Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs.4000 Given: Let discount offered be a%. ⇒ selling price of an article after discount = 5000 × (100 - a)/100 = Rs.(5000 - 50a) ⇒ 5000 - 5000 + 50a = 500 ⇒ a = 10% Total selling price of an article = 5000 + 5000 × 90/100 = Rs.9500 Let cost price of an article be Rs.m. ⇒ 18.75 = (9500 - 2m)/2m × 100 ⇒ m = 4000 ∴ The cost price of an article is Rs.4000. |
