Back to paper

A multi-store outlet sold 1375 items in a week earning 25% gain. The gain is also equal to the selling price of ‘Q’ number of items. What is the value of Q?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 275.

Let the selling price of the items be Rs 1375.

Now, CP = SP ×100(100+25)\times {100 \over (100 + 25)}

⇒ CP = 1375 × 100/125

⇒ CP = 1100

Now, number of items = Gain 

⇒ 1375 - 1100 275
