Question:

An article is sold at a gain of 15%. If it had been sold for Rs 40 more, the gain would have been 20%. What is the cost price of the article? / एक वस्तु 15% लाभ पर बेची जाती है। यदि उसे Rs 40 अधिक में बेचा जाता, तो लाभ 20% होता। वस्तु का क्रय मूल्य क्या है?

1.
Rs 600 / Rs 600
2.
Rs 1,000 / Rs 1,000
3.
Rs 400 / Rs 400
4.
Rs 800 / Rs 800

Correct Answer: Rs 800 / Rs 800

The extra Rs 40 equals $(20-15)\% = 5\%$ of the cost price. So CP $= 40 \times \frac{100}{5} = \text{Rs }800$. / अतिरिक्त Rs 40 क्रय मूल्य के $(20-15)\% = 5\%$ के बराबर है। अतः क्रय मूल्य $= 40 \times \frac{100}{5} = \text{Rs }800$।
