A watch was sold at a loss of 10%. If it was sold for Rs.140 more, there would have been a gain of 4%. What is the cost price ?<\/p>\n

\n
\n

A. Rs 1000<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

B. Rs 1140<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

C. Rs 860<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

D. Rs 760<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Answer :\u00a0<\/b>A. Rs 1000<\/h3>\n
\n

Explanation:<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Let the cost price of the watch be x.
\nIt was sold for 10% loss that is 90x\/100<\/p>\n

If it was sold for 140 more, the price would be 90x\/100 + 140 and this would be 4% gain which is 104x\/100<\/p>\n

So, 104x\/100 = 90x\/100 + 140
\nMultiply through by 100, we have
\n104x =90x + 14000
\nSubtract 90x from both sides, we have
\n14x = 14000
\nDivide both sides by 14, we have
\nx = 1000
\nSo, the cost price is 1000<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
