    An article is sold at a loss of 10%. Had it been sold for Rs. 9 more, there would have been a gain of \[12\frac{1}{2}%\] on it. The cost price of the article is

    A)  Rs. 40

    B)  Rs. 45

    C)  Rs. 50             

    D)  Rs. 35

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the CP of the article \[=Rs.\,x\] \[\therefore \]      SP of the articled \[=Rs.\frac{9x}{10}\] New SP of the article \[=Rs.\frac{9x}{10}+9\] According to question,             \[\frac{x\times 225}{200}=\frac{9x}{10}+9\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x\left( \frac{225-180}{200} \right)=9\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=\frac{9\times 200}{45}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=40\]
