Salma buys an article and then sells it for Rs.810. If she loses 10%, then at what price should she sell it to gain 4%?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e Rs.936.

Understanding/Application

S.P. of the article = Rs. 810

loss = 10%

Let the C.P. be x.

90x/100 = 810

x = 900

When gain is 4%, then 

S.P. of the article = 104x/100 = 104(900)/100 = Rs. 936
