Answer 2

Answer:  The correct option is (B) Rs. 375.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that when Bablu decreases the selling price of the shoes from Rs. 360 to Rs. 345, his loss increases by 4%.

We are to find the cost price of the shoes.

Let Rs. x be the cost price of the shoes.

Decrease in the selling price of the shoes = Rs. (360 - 345) = Rs. 15.

According to the given information, we have

$\dfrac{15}{x}\times 100\%=4\%\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{15}{x}\times100=4\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{15\times100}{4}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=15\times25\\\\\Rightarrow x=375.$

Thus, the cost of the shoes is Rs. 375.

Option (B) is CORRECT.
