A dealer purchased a washing machine for ₹9,000. He allows a discount of 10% on its marked price and still gains 10%. Find the marked price of the machine.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. ₹11,000

Given that

The cost price of a washing machine =  ₹9,000

Discount D = 10%

The profit % = 10%

M.P/C.P = (100 + P)/(100 - D)

⇒ M.P./9000 = 110/90

⇒ M.P. = ₹11000
