Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 1080 Given: Sp of an item is increased from Rs. 2252 to Rs. 2360 Concept: Increase in profit is proportional to increase in selling price. Formula: y% of Cp = increase in Sp Where, y% = increase in profit % Cp = cost price Sp = sell price Calculation: Increase in sell price = Rs. (2360 – 2252) = Rs. 108 Let cost price be x 10% of x = 108 10/100 × x = 108 1/10 × x = 108 x = 108 × 10 x = 1080 ∴ Cost price of the item is Rs. 1080 |
