Correct answer is: Cannot be determined

Explanation:

Let the cost price of the article be Rs. 100.

Therefore, Marked price = Rs.130

 

Therefore, S.P. of the article =  \(\Large \frac{130 \times 90}{100} \text{= Rs.117}\)

\(\therefore \text{Actual gain per cent = 17}\)

ARs. 65

BRs. 75

CRs. 95

DRs. 85

Nithin ? Aug 8 '2022 at 21:47

Correct answer is: Rs. 75

Explanation:

Given:

The selling price of 145 metres cloth = Rs. 12,325

The profit = Rs 10 per metre of cloth

Formula:

\(\text{Cost price = Selling price - Profit}\)

Calculation:

1 metre of cloth = Rs. 10 profit

145 metre of cloth = \(\text{Rs. 10 × 145 = 1450}\)

\(\text{ Cost price = Selling price - Profit }\)

Cost price of 145 metre = 12,325 - 1450 = Rs. 10,875

∴ Cost price of 1 metre cloth = \(\frac{10875}{145}= \text{Rs. 75}\)
