Question

By selling at a loss of 12% instead of a loss of 18% an article sells for Rs. 120 more. Find its CP.

A.

Rs. 2,100

B.

Rs. 2,000

C.

Rs. 1,500

D.

Rs. 1,800

Correct option is B

Let the cost price of article be 100x 

Selling at 12% loss  = 88x 

Selling at 18% gain = 82x 

88x - 82x = 120 

x= 20

C.P = 100x = 100 × 20 = 2000
