SSC CGL Profit and Loss question with solution
Profit and LossEasy
The marked price of a watch is ₹3,100. If a discount of 20% is allowed, what is its selling price?
- (A)₹3,720
- (B)₹2,325
- (C)₹3,080
- (D)₹2,480
Correct answer: (D) ₹2,480
Discount = 20% of 3100 = 620. Selling price = marked price − discount = 3100 − 620 = 2480. So the watch is sold for ₹2,480.
Shortcut: SP = MP × (100 − d)/100 = 3100 × 80/100.
