  • Question
  • A shopkeeper sells transistors at 15% above its cost price. If he had bought it at 5% more than what he paid for it and sold it for ? 6 more, he would have gained 10%. The cost price of the transistor is?


  • Options
  • A. ? 800
  • B. ? 1000
  • C. ? 1200
  • D. ? 1400

  • Correct Answer
  • ? 1200 

    Explanation

    Let cost price of transistor = ? N
    According to the question,
    CP of transistor = (N x 105)/100
    And SP of transistor = (115 x N)/100 + 6
    ? Profit percentage = (SP - CP)/CP x 100
    ? 10 = [[(115N/100) + 6 - (105N/100)] / (105N/100)] x 100
    ? 10 = [(10N + 600) x 100]/ 105N
    ? 105N = 100N + 6000
    ? 5N = 6000
    ? N= ? 1200
