    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.
