  1. Answer:

    Correct option is

    C

    Rs. 1200

    Let the C.P. = Rs. x. Gain =10%

    S.P. = Rs.

    100

    110x

    =

    10

    11x

    New C.P. = Rs.

    100

    90x

    = Rs.

    10

    9x

    Now S.P. =110% of Rs.

    10

    9x

    = Rs.

    100

    99x

    10

    11x

    100

    99x

    =132

    100

    11x

    =132

    11

    132×100

  2. Answer:

    500 Rs

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let CP = 100

    So,

    SP = 100 × 110/100 = 110

    New CP = 80

    New SP = 80 × 140/100 = 112

    Difference in SP = 112 – 110 = 2

    2 ——- 10 Rs

    1 ——– 5 Rs

    CP = 100 ——- 500 Rs
