Question

Ramani sells her car to Sarla at a loss of 15%. If Sarla pays ₹1,91,250 for it, then what is the cost price of the car for Ramani?

• A. ₹2,25,000
• B. ₹2,75,000
• C. ₹2,25,600
• D. ₹3,00,000

Answer 1

Answer:

A. ₹2,25,000

Ramani sells at a 15% loss, so:

$\text{SP} = 85\% \text{ of CP}$

Given:
$\text{SP} = 1{,}91{,}250$

$0.85 \times \text{CP} = 1{,}91{,}250$
$\text{CP} = \frac{1{,}91{,}250}{0.85}$
$= \frac{1{,}91{,}250 \times 100}{85}$
$= 2{,}25{,}000$

Final Answer: ₹2,25,000
