a) Rs. 20,200
b) Rs. 22,000
c) Rs. 40,000
d) Rs. 20,020

Answer 1

Answer: option (b) ₹22,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Increase in price of a T.V. = 10%

• Present cost of T.V. = ₹20,000

To find :

New price of the T.V.

Solution :

Original price of the T.V = ₹20,000

Increase in price = 10%

Increased amount = $\frac{10}{100}\times20,000$

= ₹2000

New price of the T.V. = Original price + increased amount

= ₹(20,000 + 2000)

= ₹22,000

Hence, the new cost price of the T.V. after an increment of 10% = ₹22,000
