    60%
    55%
    52%
    68%
    None of these
    Option A
    Let MP =Rs 100
    SP of table= Rs 75,
    then Discount = 25
    Gain = 20%
    CP = (100/120) * 75 = 62.5
    So Profit% when no discount = [100-62.5/62.5]*100

     

  2. A table is marked 10% above the cost price. When the selling price of a table is increased by 20% the profit gets increased by Rs 96. If the marked price of the table is Rs 440, then find original selling price?

    Rs 480
    Rs 515
    Rs 520
    None of these
    Option B
    MP = 440,
    Also given MP = (110/100)*CP, so CP = Rs 400
    Now SP – 400 = P
    And given that, when SP increased by 20%:
    (120/100)*SP – 400 = P + 96
