SSC CHSL 2022 PYQ — Question 55

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Rs.5,000.

Given:

SP = Rs.2,700 

Discount = 10%

Additional Discount on cash payment = 40%

Formula Used:

$M.P. \times {(100 -D_1) \over 100} \times {(100 -D_2) \over 100} = S.P.$

Explanation:

Let the marked price of the article be Rs. x

Since article is purchased by paying in cash,

So, $x \times {(100 - 10) \over 100} \times {(100 -40) \over 100} = S.P.$

⇒ $x \times {(100 - 10) \over 100} \times {(100 -40) \over 100} = 2,700$

⇒ $x \times {90 \over 100} \times {60 \over 100} = 2,700$

⇒ $x = {{27 \times 100 \times 100} \over (9 \times 6)}$

⇒ x = 5,000

Hence the marked price of the article is Rs. 5,000.
