Question



A man bought an article for Rs 1000 and marked X% above the cost price. While selling the article he gave discount of (40% of X)% and received profit of Rs 4X. Find the value of X.

A.

90

B.

50

C.

60

D.

68

E.

70

Correct option is B


Cost price = Rs 1000
Marked price = [1000(100+X)/100]= Rs (1000+10X)
Selling price = (1000+10X)[(100-0.4X)/100]
ATQ,
(1000+10X)[(100-0.4X)/100] = 1000 + 4X
100000 - 400X + 1000X - 4x² = 100000 + 400X
200X =4x²
X = 50
