SSC CGL Profit and Loss question with solution
Profit and LossEasy
The marked price of a watch is ₹900. If a discount of 10% is allowed, what is its selling price?
- (A)₹990
- (B)₹855
- (C)₹810
- (D)₹765
Correct answer: (C) ₹810
Discount = 10% of 900 = 90. Selling price = marked price − discount = 900 − 90 = 810. So the watch is sold for ₹810.
Shortcut: SP = MP × (100 − d)/100 = 900 × 90/100.
