Correct Answer: Rs. 400
Solution : Given: Sita sold a whiteboard marker set at 10% profit. Also, selling price with 15% profit - selling price with 10 % profit = Rs. 20 Let the Cost Price of the whiteboard marker be Rs. $x$. Since, the selling price with 15% profit – selling price with 10 % profit = Rs. 20 ⇒ $(\frac{115}{100})\times x - (\frac{110}{100})\times x=20$ ⇒ $\frac{5x}{100} = 20$ ⇒ $x=400$ So, the cost price is Rs. 400. Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 400.
