Tarun bought a T.V. with 20% discount on the labelled price. Had he bought it with 25% discount, he would have saved Rs. 500. At what price did he buy the T.V.?
(a) Rs. 5000
(b) Rs. 10000
(c) Rs. 12000
(d) Rs. 16000
(e) None of these

• (e); Let the labeled price be Rs. 100.
  S.P. in 1st case=Rs. 80, S.P. in 2nd case=Rs. 75.
  5 : 100 : : 500 : x.
  So, x=[(100X500)/5]=10000.
  i.e Required CP = 80 % of 10000 = 8000

• Let Mp = x,
  
  case 1. Cp = .8 of x
  case 2. Cp = .75 of x
  
  case1 - case 2 = 500,
  .05 of x = 500
  x = 10000
  
  He had bought for .8 of x = 8000 ans

• 25/100*x=45/100*y;

• (e)
  Labelled Price of T.V. = x
  The Saving of Rs. 500
  (0.8x - 0.75x) = 500
  X=10000
  So TV is bought at 20% discount so (0.8x) = 0.8*10000= 8000

• assume the price at which he got the tv = x
  20% discount = .2x
  25% discount = .25x
  difference in discounts = .05x
  savings if he got it at 25% rather than 20% = 500
  therefore .05x = 500
  x= 10000

• Let lebeled price was 100.
  
  Tarun bought = 100 - 20% of 100 = 80.
  
  If Tarun bought it at 25% discount,
  
  = 100 - 25% of 100 = 75.
  
  Difference = 500
  
  80 - 75 = 500.
  
  5 = 500
  
  1 = 500/5
  
  80 = 100 *80 = 8000.
  Correct Answer is Rs. 8000.
