Question : A shopkeeper sells a book at a loss of 60 percent. Had he sold the book for Rs. 150 more, then he would have suffered a loss of 30 percent. To earn a profit of 20 percent, what should be the selling price of the book?

Option 1: Rs. 650

Option 2: Rs. 600

Option 3: Rs. 700

Option 4: Rs. 550

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 600


Solution : We know,
Selling price = $\frac{100\pm \text {Profit% or Loss%}}{100}\times \text {Cost price}$
When, Loss = 60%
Let the cost price be Rs. $x$.
Selling price = $\frac{100 – 60}{100} \times x = 0.4x$
When, Loss = 30%
Selling price = $\frac{100 – 30}{100}
