SSC GD Constable (English) - 1 March 2019 Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q54

Raj got a new chair at 35% discount. Had Raj got no discount, Raj would have had to pay Rs. 238 more. How much did Raj pay for the chair?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Rs.442

Let MP = 100%

MP - Discount = SP

Discount = 35% (Given)

Had Raj got no discount, Raj would have had to pay Rs. 238 more , 35% = 238

100% = 238/35 × 100 = 680

MP = 680 Rs.

SP = 100% - 35% = 65%

SP = 65% of MP

SP = 65/100 × 680 = Rs.442
