Question

plzzzz solve this question

Answer 1

SP of a cycle = rs. 918

Let the CP be x.

So; profit = 4/75x

CP = SP - PROFIT

x = 918 - 4/75x

x + 4/75x = 918

79/75x = 918

x = 918 * 75/79

x = rs. 871.52

So; answer is (e) rs. 871.52

Answer 2

Let the Cost Price of the Cycle be : CP

Given that Profit = 4/75 of the Cost Price

⇒ Profit = 4/75 × CP

Profit is the Difference of Selling Price and Cost Price

⇒ Profit = SP - CP

Given that Shivam Sold the Cycle for Rs : 918

⇒ SP = 918

⇒ Profit = 918 - CP

⇒ 4/75 × CP = 918 - CP

⇒ CP(4/75 + 1) = 918

⇒ CP × 79/75 = 918

⇒ CP = 918 × 75/79

⇒ CP = 871.52 Rs/-

So Option (e) is the Answer
