    Question

    By selling an article for Rs. 5,280, Geeta lost 12%. For what amount should she sell it tomake a profit of 12%?

    A.

    Rs. 6,820

    B.

    Rs. 7,150

    C.

    Rs. 5,780

    D.

    Rs. 6,720

    Correct option is D

    Selling price with 12% loss: Rs. 5280

    Selling Price = Cost Price × (1l100)(1-\frac{l}{100})

    5280 = Cost Price × (112100)(1-\frac{12}{100})​​

    ​Cost Price = Rs. 6000.00

    Selling Price = Cost Price ×  (1+p100)=(1+12100)(1+\frac{p}{100}) = (1+\frac{12}{100}) ​​

    Selling Price = 6000× 112100\frac{112}{100}​​

    Selling price for 12% profit: Rs. 6720.00
