  • Options
  • A. 240
  • B. 360
  • C. 420
  • D. 600

  • Correct Answer
  • 420 

    Explanation

    Initially                 CP           profit            SP                MP

     

                                  100           x               (100+x)         133.33

     

    After Change     100           2x             (100+x)   

     

    Now,   Since (100+x)  - 100 = 2x

     

                7 6 x= 20%

     

                             CP            Profit              SP             MP

     

                            100             20               120           133.33

     

    So,                  300             60               360             400

     

    Again             300            120              420

     

    So the increased selling price = Rs. 420
