SSC Government Jobs Exams Numerical Ability Profit and Loss

A man sells an article at a profit of 25%. If he had bought it at 20% less and sold it for Rs. 10.50 less, he would have gained 30%. Find the CP of the article.

Read Solution (Total 1)

CP=100 , SP=125 (25 % profit)
CP=80 , SP=(80 x 130) / 100 = 104
Diff of SP = 125-104 = 21
When diff. is 21, CP = 100
when diff 10.5, CP = (100 x 10.5) / 21 = rs. 50
