    Question



    Two traders R and S buy two goods for Rs. 1000 and Rs. 2000 respectively. R marks his goods up by x%, & gave no discount while S marks his goods up by 2x% and offers the discount of x%. If both make the same profit, then find the value of x?

    E.

    Correct option is D

    For R,
    Cost price = Rs 1000
    Selling price = Rs (100+x)/100×1000=Rs 1000+10x
    For S,
    Cost price = Rs 2000
    Selling price = Rs 2000×(100+2x)/100×(100-x)/100=Rs 0.2 (100+2x)×(100-x)
    ATQ,
    0.2 (100+2x)×(100-x)- 2000=1000+10x-1000
    x = 25
