A shopkeeper sells a shuttle bat whose price is marked at Rs. 400, at a discount of 15% and gives a shuttle cock costing Rs. 15 free with each bat. Even, then he makes a profit of 25% on bat. His cost price, per bat is

• A. Rs. 280
• B. Rs. 275
• C. Rs. 260
• D. Rs. 250

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Rs. 260

Let C.P. of the bat is Rs. x S.P. of shuttle bat = 400 – (15% of 400) – 15 = 400 – 60 – 15 = Rs. 325 C.P. + Profit = Rs. 325 x + (25% of x) = 325 x = 325/1.25 = Rs. 260
