SSC CHSL 2021 PYQ — Question 52

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 11$\frac{1}{9}$ 

Explanation:

Selling price of stationary for Amit = $8000 \times { 100 - 12 \over 100}$ ⇒ S.P. = 7040

Now Cost price for Amit = 7040 + 160 = 7200

Amit sells the stationary at marked price thenS.P. by Amit = 8000

Profit = 8000 - 7200 = 800

Now Profit % = ${800 \over 7200} \times 100$ = $11{1 \over 9}$%

HEnce the required answer is $11{1 \over 9}$ %.
