Question

Venkat bought a second-hand scooter and spent 10% of the cost on its repairs. He sold the scooter for a profit of Rs. 2,200. How much did he spend on repairs if he made a profit of 20%?

A.

Rs. 1,200

B.

Rs. 750

C.

Rs. 1,000

D.

Rs. 400

Correct option is C

Given:
Profit made by Venkat = Rs. 2,200
Profit percentage = 20%
Amount spent on repairs = 10% of the cost price (CP).
Formula Used:
Profit = Selling Price (SP) - Cost Price (CP)
Selling Price (SP) = CP + Profit
Profit Percentage = ProfitCP×100 \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{CP}} \times 100​​
Solution:
As per the question;

20%=2200CP×10020\% = \frac{2200}{\text{CP}} \times 100​​

CP=2200×10020=11000\text{CP} = \frac{2200 \times 100}{20} = 11000​​

Now, CP includes repair cost So, 
Repairs Cost=11000×100110=1000\text{Repairs Cost} = 11000\times\frac{100}{110} = 1000​​
Thus,The amount spent on repairs is Rs. 1,000.
