Question:
Anil marks up the price of an article by 50% and then offers a discount of 20% to Raman. Raman sells it for Rs.20 more than the price at which he purchased it. If Raman’s selling price is 30% more than the original cost price of the article, then Raman’s profit percentage is
Options:
A) 10% 
B) 9% 
C) 6.66% 
D) 8.33%  
E) None of these 
Solution:
Ans. (d)  Let the cost price of Anil = Rs.a  

Then his marked price = Rs.1.5a

and his selling price = Rs.1.5a(0.8) = Rs.1.2a

Raman’s cost price = Rs. 1.2a

Raman’s selling price = Rs.(1.2a + 20) = Rs.1.3a

⇒ a = 200

∴ Raman’s cost price = 1.2a = Rs. 1.2(200) = 240

∴ Raman’s profit % = (20/240) x 100% = 8.33%
