Question : If a dealer purchases an attic for INR 900 and fixes the list price in such a way that he gains 20% after allowing a 10% discount, then the list price is:
Option 1: INR 1,180
Option 2: INR 1,080
Option 3: INR 1,200
Option 4: INR 1,100
Correct Answer: INR 1,200
Solution :
Cost price = Rs. 900
Discount = 10% of marked price
Profit = 20% of cost price
Selling price = cost price + profit
= cost price + 20% of cost price
= 120% of INR 900
= INR 1,080
Selling price = marked price – discount
⇒ INR 1080 = marked price – 10% of marked price
⇒ INR 1080 = 90% of marked price
⇒ Marked price = INR 1,200
Hence, the correct answer is INR 1,200.
