Profit and LossEasySSC GD 2024
The marked price of a watch is ₹2,700. If a discount of 5% is allowed, what is its selling price?
- (A)₹2,565
- (B)₹2,695
- (C)₹2,835
- (D)₹2,700
Correct answer: (A) ₹2,565
Discount = 5% of 2700 = 135. Selling price = marked price − discount = 2700 − 135 = 2565. So the watch is sold for ₹2,565.
Shortcut: SP = MP × (100 − d)/100 = 2700 × 95/100.
