  3. $Rs. 16,000$

  4. Data inadequate

  5. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Let the labelled price be $x$ Rs
$\therefore $ Price at which $=x-\dfrac{30}{10}\times x$
he bought $=\left(\dfrac{7x}{10}\right)$ Rs
Also profit is $25\%$
$\therefore  125\% $ of $\dfrac{7x}{10}=8750$ Rs
$\therefore \dfrac{5}{4}\times \dfrac{7x}{10}=8750$ Rs
$\therefore x=\dfrac{8750\times 4\times 10}{5\times 7}$
$\therefore x=10000$ Rs
$\therefore $ Labelled price is $10000$ Rs

  1. Rs. $162$

  2. Rs. $172$

  3. Rs. $193$

  4. Rs. $192$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Business man gains $20\%$ on his cost price, that means, he has sold his goods,
$140 + \dfrac{140\times20}{100} =$ Rs. $168$
Selling price $= 168$

Now, let marked price was Rs. $x$
According to question,
$x - \dfrac{12.5 x}{100} = 168$
$\Rightarrow\dfrac{100x - 12.5 x}{100} = 168$
$\Rightarrow 100x - 12.5 x = 16800$
$\Rightarrow 87.5 x = 16800$
$\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{16800}{87.5}$
$\Rightarrow x = 192$
So, marked price was Rs. $192$
