Answer 2

Answer: ₹250000

Explanation:

Let cost price = x and original selling price = y then

15% = (x - y)/x ⇒ y/x = 1 - 15%

⇒ y = x(1 - 15%) = 17x/20

We also see a profit of 5% when selling price is raised by ₹50000, therefore

5% = (y + 50000 - x)/x

we replace y with 17x/20 and equate our answer

5% = (17x/20 + 50000 - x)/x = 17/20 + 50000/x - 1

⇒ 50000/x = 1/20 - 17/20 + 20/20 = 4/20 = 1/5

x = 50000 * 5 = ₹250000
