Answer:

Your answer is option 4)

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs 3750

Step-by-step explanation:

S.P of the article = Rs .3600.

Profit % = 20%

C.P of article

$\implies\sf{ \: \frac{100}{100 \times p\%} } \times \: s.p$

$\implies\sf{ \frac{10}{120} \times 3600}$

$\implies\sf{Rs. 3000}$

If the same article have profit 25 %

C.P of the article = Rs. 3000

S.P of the article

$\implies\sf{ \frac{100 + p\%}{100} \times c.p \: }$

$\implies\sf{ \frac{125}{100} \times \: Rs. 3000 }$

$\implies\sf{Rs. 3750}$

Hence , Option 4 is The Correct Answer
