Question

A man sells a plot of land at 8% profit. If he had
sold it at 15% profit, he would have received * 630
more. What is the selling price of the land?
(a) 9320
(b) 9600
(c) 9820
(d) 9720
​

Answer 1

Answer:

(d) 9720

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the C.P be x.

S.P = 108/100x

According to Question,

115/100x - 108/100x = 630

7/100x = 630

x = 9000

Hence, C.P = 9000

S.P = 108/100 × 9000 = 9720

Hence, option (d) is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

(d)

Step-by-step explanation:

CP=X

SP=CP(100+GAIN%)/100

THEREFORE

SP=108X/100

NEXT CASE

WHEN HE SOLD IT FOR 15% (PROFIT)

115X/100

THEN

115X/100 -108X/100=630

AFTER SOLVING WE WELL GET X AS 9000

X=9000=CP

SP=9000×108/100=9720
