एक मेज का अंकित मूल्य 2,400 रुपये है, जो क्रय मूल्य से 20% अधिक है। इसे अंकित मूल्य पर 15% की छूट पर बेचा जाता है। लाभ प्रतिशत ज्ञात कीजिए।
Options:
- 2%
- 3%
- 4%
- 5%
- 2%
- 3%
- 4%
- 5%
Correct Answer: a)
Explanation:
Cost price \(CP = \dfrac{2400}{1 + 0.20} = \dfrac{2400}{1.20} = \text{Rs. } 2000\).
Selling price with 15% discount on marked price:
\(SP = 2400 \times (1 – 0.15) = 2400 \times 0.85 = \text{Rs. } 2040\).
Profit = \(2040 – 2000 = \text{Rs. } 40\).
Profit percentage = \(\dfrac{40}{2000} \times 100 = 2\%\).
क्रय मूल्य \(CP = \dfrac{2400}{1.20} = 2000\text{ रुपये}\)।
विक्रय मूल्य \(SP = 2400 \times 0.85 = 2040\text{ रुपये}\)।
लाभ = \(2040 – 2000 = 40\text{ रुपये}\)।
लाभ प्रतिशत = \(\dfrac{40}{2000} \times 100 = 2\%\)।
