SSC GD Constable (English) - 18th November 2021 Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q56

A man incurred 8% loss by selling a TV for ₹18,400. At what price should the TV be sold to earn 5% profit? 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. ₹21000

CP = SP × 100/(100 - Loss %)

CP = 18400 × 100/92 =  20000

SP = CP × (100 + profit %)/100

SP = 20000 × 105/100 = Rs 21000
