SSC CPO - 12 Dec 2025 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q109

A trader sells an article at 15% profit. Had he sold it for ₹150 less, he would have incurred a 5% loss.
Find the cost price.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Profit = 15%, Loss = 5%, Difference = ₹150

150 = (15 + 5)% × CP

150 = 20% × CP

150 = (20/100) × CP

CP = (150 × 100) / 20 = 750
