An article was sold after a discount of 20% and there was a gain of 20%. If the profit made on it was Rs. 6 less than the discount offered on it, find its selling price?

A. Rs. 72
B. Rs. 90
C. Rs. 66
D. Rs. 96
E. None of these

Explanation:

Let CP = Rs. 100x

SP = Rs. 120x
MP = 120x/80 * 100 = Rs. 150x
D = Rs. 150x – Rs. 120x = Rs. 30x
D – P = 30x – 20x = Rs. 6, 10x = Rs. 6
120x = 120/10 * 6 = Rs. 72

Correct Answer: Rs. 72 ✔
