SSC MTS - 18 July 2022 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q51

If a person purchases an item at ₹3,000 and he sells it at 10% profit, then find the selling price of the item.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. ₹3,300.

S.P. = C.P. × (100 + P/L)/100

Given that 

C.P. =  ₹3,000

Profit = 10%

Now, S.P. = 3,000 × (110/100)

⇒ 3,300

Hence the required selling price is  ₹3,300.
