1. A wristwatch was sold at 10% profit. If the cost was 15% less and the selling price was Tk. 20 less, then the trader would have made a profit of 20%. What was the cost of the wristwatch?

  • A. Tk. 275
  • B. Tk. 275
  • C. Tk. 275
  • D. Tk. 275

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let cp is 100, sp is 110,

At 15% less cp is = 85, at 20% profit sp = 85*120% = 102,

Difference in sp = 110 - 102 = 8,

Now, 8 = 20,

So,100 = 20*100/8 = 250 tk

Ans. 250 tk
