If a diamond ring is sold for ₹5,94,320, then a woman will get a loss of 5%. At what price should she sell it so that her profit becomes 25%?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Rs. 7,82,000.

If a diamond ring is sold for ₹5,94,320

loss = 5%

⇒ 95% = 594320

to earn a profit of 25%

⇒ (594320 × 125%)/95%

⇒ (594320 × 125)/95 = (594320 × 25)/19 = 31280 × 25 = 782000
