Question : Raghu sold an article for INR 180 after allowing a 20% discount on its marked price. Had he not allowed any discount, he would have gained 20%. What is the cost price of the article?
Option 1: INR 187.50
Option 2: INR 192.80
Option 3: INR 188.60
Option 4: INR 190.40
Correct Answer: INR 187.50
Solution : Given: After allowing a 20% discount selling price is INR 180. So, 180 = Marked Price – 20% of the Marked Price = 80% of the Marked Price ⇒ Marked Price = $\frac{180}{80}$ × 100 = 225 At no discount 20% profit. So, 225 = 120% of the cost price $\therefore$ cost price = $\frac{225}{120}$ × 100 = INR 187.5 Hence the correct answer is INR 187.5.
