Q:

The profit earned by selling an article for Rs. 832 is equal to the loss incurred when the same article is sold for Rs. 448. What should be the sale price for making 50% profit ?

A) Rs. 660
B) Rs. 560
C) Rs. 1060
D) Rs. 960

Answer:   D) Rs. 960 

Explanation:

Let C.P. = Rs. C. 
Then, 832 - C = C - 448
2C = 1280 => C = 640

Required S.P. = 150% of Rs. 640 = 150/100 x 640 = Rs. 960.
