Answer 2

Given:

Sonu sold an article for ₹ 3400

Sonu lost 15% on selling the article from cost price.

To find :

The cost price of the article.

Solution:

Let the cost price of article is 'x'

Sonu sold an article for ₹ 3400 and lost 15% on it.

Therefore,

x - ( 15% of x ) = 3400

x - $\frac{15x}{100}$ = 3400

$\frac{100x-15x}{100}$ = 3400

85x = 3400 × 100

x = $\frac{340000}{85}$

x = 4000

The cost price of the article was ₹ 4000

Final answer:

The cost price of the article was ₹ 4000

Thus, The correct option is (b) ₹ 4000
