SSC GD Constable (English) - 3 March 2019 Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q66

Ramu got a new table for 25% discount. Had he got no discount, Ramu would have had to pay Rs. 185 more. How much did Ramu pay for the table ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 555

Let Mark price of table = 100%

Ramu got 25% of MP 

It means Ramu purchased table in (100 - 25)% of MP = 75% of MP

If he had no discount then he would have purchased in Mark Price

(100% - 75%) of MP = 185 , 25% of MP = 185

75% of MP = 185/25 × 75 = 555.
