Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs. 500 Given: Profit of Shopkeeper = 40% Selling price of bulb for Nirmal = Rs. 630 Loss of Nirmal = 10% Formula Used: Cost price × (100 + Profit %)/100 = Selling price Cost price × (100 – Loss %)/100 = Selling price Calculation: Cost price of bulb for Nirmal = Selling Price of bulb for Shopkeeper ⇒ Cost price of bulb for Nirmal = (630 × 100)/(100 – 10) = Rs. 700 Selling Price of bulb for Shopkeeper = Rs. 700 ⇒ Cost price of bulb for shopkeeper = (700 × 100)/(100 + 40) = Rs. 500 ∴ Cost price of the bulb is Rs. 500. |
