Question

The difference between cost price and selling price of an article is Rs. 120. If profit percentage is 10 percent, then what is the selling price?

A.

Rs. 1320

B.

Rs. 1000

C.

Rs. 1200

D.

Rs. 1440

Correct option is A

Given:
Profit percentage = 10%.
Difference between CP and SP = Rs. 120.

Formula Used:
Profit % = [(SP - CP) / CP] × 100.

Solution:
Let CP = x. Then, SP = x + 120, and Profit % = 10.
=> 10 = [120 / x] × 100
=> x = Rs. 1200 (Cost price)
SP = CP + 120 = 1200 + 120 = Rs. 1320.
