SSC CHSL - 09 Aug 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q53

A man sells a good at 5% profit. If he had sold it at a 10% profit, he would have received 175 more. What is the selling price of the good?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 3,675.

Let the cost price of the good = 100x

So, 110x - 105x = 175

⇒ 5x = 175

⇒ x = 35

⇒ 105x = 105 × 35 = 3675

Therefore, the selling price of the good is ₹3675.
