Question
A shopkeeper sold 12 cameras at a profit of 20% and 8 cameras at a profit of 10%. If he had sold all the 20 cameras at a profit of 15% , then his profit would have been reduced by Rs. 36. what is the cost price of each camera?
Options
A. 100
B. 150
C. 180
D. 220

Correct Answer

180

Explanation

Go through option C

180 x 12 x 1.2 + 180 x 8 x 1.1 = 180 [ 14.4 + 8.8 ]
= 180 (23.2) = 4176

And 180 x 20 x 1.15 = 4140

Therefore loss = 4176 - 4140 = 36
Hence option (c) is correct
