Question : On an article, the profit is 230% of the cost price. If the cost price increases by 50% but the selling price remains constant, then what is the new profit per cent?
Option 1: 54.54%
Option 2: 80%
Option 3: 120%
Option 4: 150%
Correct Answer: 120%
Solution : Here, SP is the selling price and CP is the cost price. Let CP be Rs. 100. Profit = 230% of 100 = 230 SP = CP + Profit = Rs. 330 Now CP has increased by 50% $\therefore$ New CP = Rs. 150 But SP remains constant. $\therefore$ New Profit = Rs. (330 – 150) = Rs. 180 Now, new profit percentage $=\frac{\text{New profit}}{\text{New CP}}⨯100= \frac{180}{150}⨯100= 120\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 120%.
