A radio dealer sold radio at a loss of 2.5%. Had he sold it for Rs. 100 more, he would have gained 7 1/ 2 %. In order to gain 12 1/ 2 % he should sell it for?

Correct Answer: Rs. 1125

Explanation:

It is clear that (2.5% of C.P. + 7.5% of C.P.) = 100
∴ C.P. = Rs. 1000
Now, gain = 121/2
So, Required S.P. = 1121/2% of C.P.
= Rs. (225 / 200) x 1000
= Rs. 1125
