If a vendor sells a coconut at Rs 14.4 he makes 10% loss. If he wants to make 25% profit, then at what price (in Rs) should he sell the coconut?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 20

SP = 14.4

Loss % = 10%

0.9 × CP = 14.4

⇒ CP = 14.4/0.9 = 16

Required profit = 25%

So,

SP = 1.25 × 16 = Rs. 20
