    A) 25

    B) 30

    C) 35

    D) 20

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] CP of the chair for the shopkeeper \[=600\times \frac{85}{100}\times \frac{80}{100}=\text{Rs}.408\] With transportation charge, total \[CP=408+28=\text{Rs}\text{.}\,\,436\] and SP = Rs. 545 \[\therefore \] Gain per cent \[=\frac{545-436}{436}\times 100\]             \[=\frac{109}{436}\times 100=25%\]
