  2. ₹$275$
  3. ₹$290$
  4. ₹$300$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. ₹$300$

A trader sold an article for ₹$828$ at a loss of $8\%$. At what price should he sell it to gain $12\%$?

  1. ₹$1008$
  2. ₹$990$
  3. ₹$1020$
  4. ₹$950$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. ₹$1008$

First recover CP from the loss-side: $\text{CP} = \dfrac{100 \times \text{SP}}{100 - \text{Loss}\%} = \dfrac{100 \times 828}{92} = ₹900$. Then apply gain side: SP $= \dfrac{(100 + 12)}{100} \times 900 = ₹1008$.
