Question : An article was sold at a loss of 13.5%. If it was sold for INR 1,104 more, then there would have been a profit of 9.5%. The cost price of the article was:
Option 1: INR 4,600
Option 2: INR 4,800
Option 3: INR 4,400
Option 4: INR 4,200
Correct Answer: INR 4,800
Solution : Let $x$ be the cost price. Loss = 13.5% of cost price = $0.135x$ Selling price = cost price – loss = $x-0.135x$ = $0.865x$ When selling price = $0.865x$ + INR 1,104, Profit = 9.5% of cost price = $0.095x$ Cost price = selling price – profit $x = 0.865x + 1104 - 0.095x$ ⇒ $0.23x = 1104$ ⇒ $x=4800$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 4,800.
