Given mp=300,which is 50% more than cost prise(given) so now cp=200(300÷1.5),and suppose the sp=X
Now new mp=300×1.2(as 20% increased) and new sp=1.2X(20% increase)
According to the question now,1.2X-200=2(X-200) (as profit gets double)
So X=200÷0.8=250,which is the original selling price

sureshpawar: cp should remain the same we have increased only mp and sp as per question. so i think 250 should be the answer

JoyOfLife: Ok, let me double check the procedure with my teacher. I'll let you know tomorrow. Thanks buddy.

sureshpawar: yes bro consult with your teacher. always welcome

sureshpawar: hey dear have u clarified

JoyOfLife: yes. The CP has to be same. I just got confused becoz if the CP doesn't need to be changed then there is no point in giving the increment in MP

sureshpawar: so whats the answer finally

JoyOfLife: 250 should be the answer. You were right. Keep up the good work bro.
