SSC GD Profit and Loss question with solution
Profit and LossEasy
The marked price of a watch is ₹2,600. If a discount of 25% is allowed, what is its selling price?
- (A)₹1,950
- (B)₹2,575
- (C)₹3,250
- (D)₹1,820
Correct answer: (A) ₹1,950
Discount = 25% of 2600 = 650. Selling price = marked price − discount = 2600 − 650 = 1950. So the watch is sold for ₹1,950.
Shortcut: SP = MP × (100 − d)/100 = 2600 × 75/100.
