10% of a product's cost price is Rs.1,245.80. What would be the selling price if the product is sold at a loss of 15%? (rounded off to the nearest rupee)
To find the selling price, we first need to determine the cost price (CP) of the product. We are given that 10% of the cost price is Rs. 1,245.80. Once the CP is known, we can calculate the selling price (SP) by applying the given loss percentage of 15%.
We are given that 10% of the cost price is Rs. 1,245.80.
\[ 0.10 \times \text{CP} = 1245.80 \]\[ \text{CP} = \frac{1245.80}{0.10} \]\[ \text{CP} = 12458 \]A loss of 15% means the selling price will be \(100\% - 15\% = 85\%\) of the cost price.
\[ \text{SP} = \text{CP} \times (1 - 0.15) \]\[ \text{SP} = 12458 \times 0.85 \]\[ \text{SP} = 10589.30 \]Rounding Rs. 10589.30 to the nearest rupee gives Rs. 10589.
Correct Option: B) 10,589

To find the cost price of a single cycle, we first need to calculate the total cost price of all 160 cycles. We are given the total selling price and the percentage loss. Using the formula relating selling price, cost price, and loss percentage, we can find the total cost price. Then, we divide the total cost price by the number of cycles to get the cost price per cycle.
The formula relating Selling Price (SP), Cost Price (CP), and Loss percentage is:
\[ \text{SP} = \text{CP} \times \left(1 - \frac{\text{Loss percentage}}{100}\right) \]Rearranging to find CP:
\[ \text{CP} = \frac{\text{SP}}{\left(1 - \frac{\text{Loss percentage}}{100}\right)} \]Substitute the given values:
\[ \text{CP} = \frac{524000}{\left(1 - \frac{10}{100}\right)} \] \[ \text{CP} = \frac{524000}{\left(1 - 0.10\right)} \] \[ \text{CP} = \frac{524000}{0.90} \] \[ \text{CP} = 582222.222... \text{ Rs.} \]So, the total cost price of 160 cycles is approximately Rs. 582,222.22.
To find the cost price of a single cycle, divide the total cost price by the number of cycles:
\[ \text{Cost Price per cycle} = \frac{\text{Total CP}}{\text{Number of cycles}} \] \[ \text{Cost Price per cycle} = \frac{582222.222...}{160} \] \[ \text{Cost Price per cycle} = 3638.888... \text{ Rs.} \]Rounding 3638.888... to the nearest rupee gives 3639 Rs.
Correct Option: B) 3639
