Correct Answer: Rs. 350
Solution : Let's denote the cost price of the commodity as C. The profit after selling it for Rs. 400 is given by the formula: Profit = Selling price − Cost price ⇒ Profit = 400 − C The loss after selling it for Rs. 300 is given by the formula: Loss = Cost price − Selling price ⇒ Loss = C − 300 Since Profit = Loss ⇒ 400 − C = C − 300 ⇒ 2C = 700 ⇒ C = 350 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 350.
