  • Options
  • A. Rs. 400
  • B. Rs. 420
  • C. Rs. 460
  • D. Rs. 480

  • 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.
