A shopkeeper sold a mobile for Rs.14400 and incurred a profit. If he sold the mobile for Rs.11400, he incurred a loss which is equal to 25% of the amount of profit incurred, then find the cost price of the mobile?<\/p>
A. Rs.12000<\/b><\/p>
B. Rs.16000<\/p>
C. Rs.15000<\/p>
D. Rs.10000<\/p>
E. None of these<\/p>
\u00a0Sol:<\/p>
Answer: A <\/p>
Let the cost price of the mobile = x <\/p>
(14400 \u2013 x) * 25\/100 = x \u2013 11400 <\/p>
14400 * 1\/4 \u2013 x\/4 = x \u2013 11400<\/p>
3600 + 11400 = x + x\/4 <\/p>
4x + x = 15000 * 4 <\/p>
x = 15000 * 4\/5 <\/p>
x = 12000<\/p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
