Question : The marked price of an article is 150 percent of the cost price. If a 20 percent discount is given, then what will be the profit percentage?
Option 1: 20 percent
Option 2: 12.5 percent
Option 3: 25 percent
Option 4: 10 percent

Solution : According to the question, Marked Price = 150% of cost price $\therefore$ $\text{MP} = 1.5\text{C}$ After a 20% discount, the selling price (SP) is given by: SP $=$ Marked Price $−$ Discount ⇒ SP $=1.5\text{C}−0.2\times1.5\text{C}=1.2\text{C}$ ⇒ Profit $=$ SP $−$ CP $=1.2\text{C}−\text{C}=0.2\text{C}$ Profit Percentage
Question : If (2, 0) is a solution of the linear equation $2x+3y = k$, then the value of $k$ is:
Option 1: 6
Option 2: 5
Option 3: 2
