    Question



    Cost price of the article is 33 1/3% of the marked price and by selling the article it made a profit of 40%. Discount offered on the article is Rs. 640. Find the selling price of the article when 33 1/3% discount is given on that article.

    A.

    Rs. 800

    B.

    Rs. 700

    C.

    Rs. 1200

    D.

    Rs. 1600

    E.

    Rs. 1000

    Correct option is A

    Let the marked price of the article be 15x
    Cost price = 1/3×15x=5x
    Selling price = 5x×7/5=7x
    ATQ, 15x – 7x = 640
    8x = 640
    x = 80
    Now,
    Marked price = 15×80=1200 Rs
    Selling price = 1200×2/3=Rs.800
