Ques - An item costing Rs. 200 is being sold at 10% loss. If the price is further reduces by 5%, the selling price will be :
(a) Rs. 170
(b) Rs. 171
(c) Rs. 180
(d) Rs. 181
Solution -
CP of an item = 200
SP of an item = 200 × (90/100)
= 180
Now,
New SP = 180 × (95/100)
= 171
Therefore,
The selling price will be Rs. 171.
Hence,
The correct answer is option (b) Rs. 171.
