Download Solution PDFGiven:
Cost Price (CP) = ₹5,000
Damaged goods = 5%
Profit = 20%
Formula used:
Selling Price (SP) = Cost Price of undamaged goods + Desired Profit
Calculations:
Damaged goods = 5% of 5000
⇒ Damaged goods = 0.05 × 5000 = ₹250
Undamaged goods cost = 5000 - 250
⇒ Undamaged goods cost = ₹4750
Desired profit = 20% of undamaged goods cost
⇒ Desired profit = 0.20 × 4750 = ₹950
Selling Price (SP) = Cost Price of undamaged goods + Desired Profit
⇒ SP = 4750 + 950 = ₹5700
∴ The correct answer is option (2).
