1. A pen was sold at 15% loss. If the selling price was Tk 8 more, then the seller could have made a profit of 10%. What was the purchase price of pen?
- A. 45
- B. 45
- C. 45
- D. 45
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let,
Purchase price = Tk.x
At 15% loss SP = Tk.(17x/20)
At 10% profit SP = Tk.(11x/10)
As per question ,
(17x/20) + 8 = (11x/10)
Or, 5x = 160
Or, x = 32
Therefore, the required value = Tk.32
