A person sells an article at 16% below its cost price. Had he sold it for Rs.33 more, he would have gain 14%. To gain 25%, he should sell the article for?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Rs 137.5

30% = 33

10% = 11

100% = 110

(1/4) × 110 = 27.5

Selling price of the article to gain 25% = 110 + 27.5

                                                                    = 137.5
