A shopkeeper bought an article for INR 520. At what price (in INR) should he sell the article to make 10% profit?

A560

B572

C468

D584

Answer:

B. 572

Read Explanation:

Cost Price (CP) = ₹520
Profit = 10%

Selling Price (SP) is calculated as:
SP=CP×(1+10100)\text{SP} = \text{CP} \times \left(1 + \frac{10}{100}\right)
SP=520×1.10=572\text{SP} = 520 \times 1.10 = 572

He should sell the article for ₹572.
