SSC CHSL 2022 PYQ — Question 56

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Rs.3,382.

Given:

C.P. = Rs.2,500

Gain = 15%

Discount = 15%

Formula Used:

$S.P. = C.P. \times {(100 + P) \over 100}$

$S.P. = M.P. \times {(100 - D) \over 100}$

Explanation:

Let the marked price be Rs. x

Now, $S.P. = 2500 \times {(100 + 15) \over 100}$

⇒ S.P. = 25 × 115 

⇒ S.P. = 2,875

So, Using the formula for M.P., $S.P. = M.P. \times {(100 - D) \over 100}$, we get

⇒ $2,875 = x \times {(100 - 15) \over 100}$

⇒ $x = {{2,875 \times 100} \over 85}$

⇒ x = 3382.35

Hence the required value of marked price is Rs. 3382.
