SSC CHSL Profit and Loss question with solution
Profit and LossEasy
The marked price of a watch is ₹2,400. If a discount of 10% is allowed, what is its selling price?
- (A)₹2,040
- (B)₹2,160
- (C)₹2,390
- (D)₹2,640
Correct answer: (B) ₹2,160
Discount = 10% of 2400 = 240. Selling price = marked price − discount = 2400 − 240 = 2160. So the watch is sold for ₹2,160.
Shortcut: SP = MP × (100 − d)/100 = 2400 × 90/100.
