Question
Namitha sold a powerbank which is at the cost of Rs. 1950 at a loss of 25%. Find at what cost will she have to sell it to get a profit of 25%?
Options
A. Rs. 3680
B. Rs. 3560
C. Rs. 3320
D. Rs. 3250

Correct Answer

Rs. 3250

Explanation

Let the Cost price of the powerbank = Rs. P

But given that by selling it at Rs. 1950, it gives a loss of 25%

=> $\frac{P x 75}{100} = 1950$
=> $P = \frac{1950 x 100}{75}$ = Rs. 2600
Now, to get a profit of 25%

Selling Price = $\frac{2600 x 125}{100} = Rs . 3250$ .
