Anurag sold a refrigerator for ₹28000, at a loss of 30%. If he wanted to earn a profit of 25%, at what price should he have sold the refrigerator?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Rs. 50,000.

Anurag sold a refrigerator for ₹28000, at a loss of 30%

⇒ 70% = 28000

 If he wanted to earn a profit of 25%

Solve it by the unitary method

⇒ 70% = 28000 × (100 + 25)%

⇒ 28000 × 125%/70%

⇒ 400 × 125 = ₹50000
