A person sold an article at Rs.1840 and profit incurred will be 12.5% more than and the loss incurred when article is sold at  Rs.1500. At what price it should sell to get 20% profitQuestion 17Answera.1997b.1994c.1992d.1995

Let's break down the problem step by step:

1. Let's denote the cost price of the article as 'x'.

2. According to the problem, the person sold the article at Rs.1840 and the profit incurred is 12.5% more than the loss incurred when the article is sold at Rs.1500.

3. This means that if the person sells the article for Rs.1840, the profit is x - 1840.

4. If the person sells the article for Rs.1500, the loss is x - 1500.

5. According to the problem, the profit is 12.5% more than the loss. This can be written as: (x - 1840) = 1.125 * (x - 1500)

6. Solving this equation for 'x' gives us the cost price of the article.

7. Once we have the cost price, we can calculate the selling price for a 20% profit. This would be 1.2 * x.

Let's solve the equation from step 5:

(x - 1840) = 1.125 * (x - 1500)

x - 1840 = 1.125x - 1687.5

Subtract 'x' from both sides:

-1840 = 0.125x - 1687.5

Add 1687.5 to both sides:

-152.5 = 0.125x

Divide both sides by 0.125:

x = -152.5 / 0.125

x = 1220

So, the cost price of the article is Rs.1220.

To find the selling price for a 20% profit, multiply the cost price by 1.2:

Selling price = 1.2 * 1220 = Rs.1464

So, the person should sell the article for Rs.1464 to get a 20% profit.
