A. 851
B. 852
C. 850
D. 853
Correct Answer :
C. 850
Explanation
Let initial cost price be x Rs. Profit = 20/100 * x = x/5 So selling price = x + x/5 = 6x/5 If cost price = x + 50 Selling Price = 6x/5 + 30 Profit = (6x/5 + 30) - (x + 50) = x/5 -20 Profit Percentage = (x/5 - 20) / (x + 50) * 100 But in according to the question profit percentage = 20 - 10/3 = 50/3 % So (x/5 - 20) / (x + 50) * 100 = 50/3 ∴ (x/5 - 20) / (x + 50) = 1/6 ∴ 6x/5 - 120 = x + 50 ∴ x/5 = 170 ∴ x = 850 So original cost price = Rs 850
