'X' sells fruits at 21% profit. If X bought it for 9% less and sold it for Rs.29 less, he would have gained 25%. The cost price of fruits is?

Correct Answer: Rs. 400

Explanation:

Let the cost price of the fruits be 'C.P'


From the given data, after analysis it can be solved as


(121% of C.P) - (125% of 91% of C.P) = 29


121 100   C . P     -     125 100     x   91 100   x   C . P   =   29 121 100   -   125   x   91 100   x   100   C . P   =   29 ( 12100   -   125   x   91 )   C . P   =   290000 ( 12100   -   11375 )   C . P   =   290000 725   C . P   =   290000 C . P   =   400


 


Hence, the cost price of the fruits = Rs. 400.
