Q. A wholesaler allows a discount of 20 % on the list price to the retailer. The retailer sells at 5% below the
list price. If the customer pays Rs.19 for an article what profit is made by the retailer on it?
Option
(a) Rs.2
(b) Rs.3
(c) Rs.4
(d) Rs.4.5

• (b) Rs 3
  If wholesaler's list price=100%, Retailer's CP=80% & SP=95%
  If SP of 95% of the retailer costs Rs.19 to customer,so its CP of 80% will cost 80*19/95=16
  Profit is made by the retailer=19-16=3 Rs.

• retailer sells good @ 95 % of list price
  x*95/100=19 (given from the question)
  x=1
  so original list price=19+1=20
  Wholesaler allowed 20 % discount on Rs 20
  so 20% of 20 =4
  original price for retailer = 20-4=16
  and profit of retailer=19-16=3
  so option B is a right answer
