Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Profit 12% Given: The marked price of TV = 40% higher than CP Discount is given by the Trader = 20% Formula used: S.P = M.P × (100 – D%)/100 S.P = C.P × (100 + P%)/100 P = S.P – C.P P% = (P/C.P) × 100 Where, S.P → Selling price M.P → Marked price D% → Discount% P% → Profit% P → Profit C.P → Cost price Calculation: Let the price of T.V be 100x Marked price is 40% more = 100x + 100x × (40/100) = 140x S.P of the T.V after 20% discount = 140x × 80/100 = 112x Profit = 112x – 100x = 12x Profit% = (12x/100x) × 100 ⇒ Profit% = 12% ∴ Profit% is 12% |
