A man marked the price of his car 50% higher than its cost price. He gives a discount 15% on marked price. In this way he got a profit of Rs.165. Find the marked price of car.

A)  Rs. 700                        

B)  Rs. 400

C)  Rs. 500                        

D)  Rs. 900

Correct Answer: D

Solution :

 Let C.P. be Rs.100 \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,27.5=165\Rightarrow C.P.=\frac{165}{27.5}\times 100\] C.P. \[=600\Rightarrow M.P.=600\times \frac{150}{100}\]
