A shopkeeper buys a certain no. of books for Rs. 960. If the cost per book was Rs. 8 less, the no. of books that could be bought for Rs. 960 would be 4 more. Taking the original cost of each book to be Rs. x, write an equation in x and solve it.
Let orignal cost of each book =x
No. of books bought for Rs. 960 =
x
960
The cost of each book was Rs. 8 less, then the cost of book =x−8
Difference in the no. of books bought =
x−8

x(x−48)+40(x−48)=0
(x+40)(x−48)=0
x=−40(impossible)and x=48
Orignal cost of each book is 48
Option A is correct.
