SSC CGL Profit and Loss question with solution
Profit and LossEasySSC CGL 2024
The marked price of a watch is ₹2,100. If a discount of 15% is allowed, what is its selling price?
- (A)₹1,680
- (B)₹2,085
- (C)₹1,785
- (D)₹1,890
Correct answer: (C) ₹1,785
Discount = 15% of 2100 = 315. Selling price = marked price − discount = 2100 − 315 = 1785. So the watch is sold for ₹1,785.
Shortcut: SP = MP × (100 − d)/100 = 2100 × 85/100.
