Ram sold his car for RS.50,000 less than what he bought it for and lost 8%. At what price should she have sold the car, if she wanted to gain as much as she lost in the first transaction?

1) Rs.6,25,000
2) Rs.6,37,500
3) Rs.6,50,000
4) Rs.6,75,000
5) Rs.7,00,000

• 8%--------50,000
  108%-------?(Gain as much as he lost means 8% profit)
  (50,000*108)/8=675000

• let c.p = x , then s.p= x-50,000 , loss%=8
  loss= sp-cp => x-50,000 - x = 50,000
  therefore . loss%= loss*100/c.p => 50,000*100/x=8 => x= 625000
  now, sp= 108*625000/100 => 675000 [sp= 1+(*gain/100)cp]

• 8x/100= 50000
  x= 625000

• X-50,000=X x 92/100
  X=625000
  SP=625000 x 108/100 =675000

• x-50000=92x/100-x
  solving x=625000

• 50,000/- i.e. 8% so first calculate the price of car
  50,000= 8/100*x
  so x = 50,000*100/8 so x= 625000
  now
  add 50,000/- as to add 8%
  so total amt with 8% profit will be 625000+50000=6,75,000/-
