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.
