The proportion profit made on an article sold for Rs. 1920 is the same as the percentage loss made on the same article sold for Rs. 1280. What should the article be sold for in order to make a 25% profit?
A. Rs. 2000 B. Rs. 2200 C. Rs. 2400 D. Data inadequate
Explanation: Let's say C.P. is Rs. x.Then x - 1280/x x 100 = 1920 - x/x x 100, x = x - 1280 1920 - x = x - 1280 3200 divided by two.x equals 1600.S.P. required = 125 percent of Rs. 1600 = 125 x 1600/100 = Rs. 2000.
