Question

By selling an article for Rs. 1,500, a man gains Rs. 150. At what price (in Rs. ) should he sell the article to gain 24%?

A.

1,560

B.

1,870

C.

1,493

D.

1,674

Correct option is D

Given:
Selling Price (SP₁) = Rs. 1500
Profit = Rs. 150
Formula Used:
Cost Price (CP) = SP - Profit
New Selling Price (SP₂) = CP × (1 + Gain%)
Solution:
CP = 1500 - 150 = Rs. 1350
To gain 24%,
New SP=1350×(1+24100)=1350×1.24=Rs. 1674\text{New SP} = 1350 \times \left(1 + \frac{24}{100} \right) = 1350 \times 1.24 = \text{Rs. } 1674​​
Therefore, he should sell the article at Rs. 1674 to gain 24%.
