Correct Answer: 120
Solution : Loss = 20% of cost price when the selling price of 90 pens is INR 80 Selling price = Cost price – Loss ⇒ INR 80 = cost price – 20% of cost price ⇒ INR 80 = 80% of cost price ⇒ Cost price = INR 100 Now, profit = 20% of cost price = INR 20 So, new selling price = cost price + profit = INR 100 + INR 20 = INR 120 Hence, the correct answer is 120.
