Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs.1,400 Given: Initial Selling Price = Rs.400 Final Selling Price = Rs.350 Formula Used: Loss = CP – SP Calculation; Let the Cost Price of the table be Rs.x Let the initial loss be y So, the final loss = [(100 + 5)/100] × y = 1.05y Hence, we get: y = x – 400 ----(i) ⇒ 1.05y = x – 350 ----(ii) On combining the equations (i) and (ii), we get: 1.05 × (x – 400) = x – 350 ⇒ 1.05x – 420 = x – 350 ⇒ x = 1400 ∴ The cost price of table is Rs.1400 |
