Question

On selling a table fan at Rs.2,827.06, the value of gain is 14% more than the value of loss incurred on selling it at Rs.2,230. In order to gain 14%, the selling price will be:

A.

Rs.3,045

B.

Rs.2,890

C.

Rs.2,860.26

D.

Rs.2,844.50

Correct option is C

Given:
When article sold at Rs. 2,827.06 it gains 14% more than value when article sold at Rs. 2230 it losses
Formula Used:
Loss = cost price - selling price
Gain = selling price - cost price
Gain% =GainCost Price\frac{\text{Gain}}{\text{Cost Price}}​× 100
Solution:
Let the cost price be x
It losses when selling price = Rs. 2230
=> Loss = (x - 2230) ----(1)
It gains when selling price = Rs. 2827.06
=> Gain = (2827.06 - x)
According to the question,
(2827.06 - x) = (x - 2230) × 114100\frac{114}{100}​​
=> 282706 - 100x = 114x - 254220
=> 214x = 536926
=> x = 2509
=> SP = 114 × 2509100\frac{2509}{100}​ = Rs. 2860.26
∴ The selling price will be Rs. 2860.26
Alternate Method:
Let the cost price be x.
Gain = (2827.06 - x) and Loss = (x - 2230)
According to the question.
=> (2827.06 - x) = (x - 2230) × (114/100)
=> 282706 - 100x = 114x - 254220
=> 214x = 536926
=> x = 2509
New SP = 114 × 2509100\frac{2509}{100}​ = Rs. 2860.26
