SSC Selection Post 2022 PYQ — Question 60

The correct answer  is option 1 i.e. Rs.5,040.

Selling Price with 15% loss = ₹3,825

Let Cost Price (CP) = x

SP =$(1 - 0.15) \times x = 0.85x$

⇒ $0.85x = 3825 \Rightarrow x = \frac{3825}{0.85} = 4500$

Cost Price = ₹4,500

Selling Price for 12% gain ( SP) =  $(1 + 0.12) \times 4500 = 1.12 \times 4500 =$  ₹5,040
