Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs. 40,000

Given:

S.P. reduces 20%

Initial gain = 15%

Final gain = 10%

Formula used:

Gain  = (gain%/100) × C.P.

S.P. = C.P. + Gain

Calculation:

Let C.P. = 100

⇒ Initial S.P. = 100 + (0.15 × 100)

⇒ Initial S.P. = 100 +15

⇒ Initial S.P. = 115

Now, calculate final S.P.

⇒ Final S.P. = 100 + (0.10 × 100)

⇒ Final S.P. = 100 + 10

⇒ Final S.P. = 110

Change in S.P = 115 -110

⇒ 5 units difference = 2000

⇒ 1 units = 400

Hence, 100 × 400 = 40,000

Cost price of suit = Rs. 40,000
