By selling an article for Rs 1800, triple the profit is obtained than the profit that would have been obtained by selling it for Rs 1350. The cost price (in Rs) of the article is:

Options
a) 1200
b) 1125
c) 1250
d) 1175

Solutions

As per question
1st selling price = 1800 Rs.
2nd selling price = 1350 Rs.
Triple the profit of 1st SP = 3
Profit of 2nd SP = 1
Profit = SP – CP
Let assume CP = x

4050 – 3x = 1800 – x
2x = 2250
x = 1125
CP = 1125 Rs.

Answer : Rs 1125
