Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs.46,000 Given: Initial sold at Rs.44,000 and loss a particular amount When the same type of laptop sold at Rs.50,000 then his gain was doubled the former loss Concept: Profit amount = Selling price – Cost price Loss amount = Cost price – selling price Calculation: Let cost price of laptop = Rs.x According to question, 2 × (x – 44000) = 50000 – x ⇒ 2x – 88000 = 50000 – x ⇒ 3x = 138000 ⇒ x = Rs.46,000 ∴ Cost price of each laptop is Rs. 46,000 |
