    What the seller marked the printed price of a watch purchased at Rs. 380, so that giving 5% discount there is 25% profit?

    A) Rs. 400

    B) Rs. 450

    C) Rs. 500             

    D) Rs. 600

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let marked price be \[Rs.\,x\] \[\therefore \] Discount \[\text{= 5 }\!\!%\!\!\text{  of }x\]             \[=\frac{5}{100}\times x=\frac{x}{20}\] Since,    \[\text{SP=MP}-\text{Discount}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[380=x-\frac{x}{20}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[380=\frac{19x}{20}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=Rs.\,400\]
