Question : By selling a table for INR 1,596, Aarav loses 24%. At what price (in INR) should he sell it to gain 24%?
Option 1: 3,196
Option 2: 3,024
Option 3: 1,979
Option 4: 2,604
Correct Answer: 2,604
Solution : Given: By selling a table for INR 1,596, Aarav loses 24%. Use the formulas, Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{SP–CP}}{\text{CP}}\times 100$, Loss percentage = $\frac{\text{CP–SP}}{\text{CP}}\times 100$, where $SP$ and $CP$ are the selling price and the cost price. $24 = \frac{\text{CP–1596}}{\text{CP}}\times 100$ ⇒ $24 CP = 100 CP-159600$ ⇒ $76 CP =159600$ ⇒ $ CP= $ INR 2,100 Now, $24= \frac{\text{SP–2100}}{2100}\times 100$ ⇒ $504= SP-2100$ ⇒ $SP=2100+504$ ⇒ $ SP= $ INR 2,604 Hence, the correct answer is INR 2,604.
