Correct Answer: INR 55
Solution : Given: The cost of the book = INR 40 The book which costs INR 40 is sold for 25% profit. Thus, the actual cost of the book + 25% profit of the book = 40 + (40 + 25) ÷ 100 = 40 + 10 = 50 The actual cost of the book with 25% = INR 50 Now, if the cost of the book is increased by 10% and the profit percentage remains the same, The new selling price of the book = The actual cost of the book with 25% profit + Cost of the book is increased by 10% New selling price = 50 + {(50 × 10) ÷ 100} New selling price = 50 + 5 New selling price = INR 55
So, the new selling price of the book is INR 55. Hence, the first option is correct.
