    Question

    The difference between cost price and selling price of a table is Rs. 224. If loss percentage is 40 percent, then what is the selling price?

    A.

    Rs. 336

    B.

    Rs. 352

    C.

    Rs. 306

    D.

    Rs. 406

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Difference between Cost Price (C.P.) and Selling Price (S.P.) = Rs. 224
    Loss Percentage = 40%
    Formula Used:
    Loss = C.P. - S.P.
    Loss% =LossC.P.×100\frac{\text{Loss}}{\text{C.P.}} \times 100​​
    Solution:
    Let the Cost Price (C.P.) be x.
    40 = 224x×100\frac{224}{x} \times 100​​
    x=224×10040x=560x = \frac{224 \times 100}{40}\\x = 560​​
    Selling Price (S.P.) = C.P. - Loss =560 - 224 = 336
    Thus, the selling price of the table is Rs. 336.
