The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the selling price of the product based on the given cost price, profit percentage, and discount percentage. ### Step 1: Understand the given values - Cost Price (CP) = Rs. 1920 - Profit Percentage = 20% - Discount Percentage = 20% ### Step 2: Calculate the Selling Price (SP) before discount To find the selling price before the discount, we can use the formula for selling price based on profit percentage: \[ SP = CP \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{Profit Percentage}}{100}\right) \] Substituting the values: \[ SP = 1920 \times \left(1 + \frac{20}{100}\right) \] \[ SP = 1920 \times \left(1 + 0.20\right) \] \[ SP = 1920 \times 1.20 \] \[ SP = 2304 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Selling Price after discount Now that we have the selling price before the discount, we need to find the selling price after applying the 20% discount. The formula for selling price after discount is: \[ \text{Selling Price after discount} = SP \times \left(1 - \frac{\text{Discount Percentage}}{100}\right) \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Selling Price after discount} = 2304 \times \left(1 - \frac{20}{100}\right) \] \[ \text{Selling Price after discount} = 2304 \times \left(1 - 0.20\right) \] \[ \text{Selling Price after discount} = 2304 \times 0.80 \] \[ \text{Selling Price after discount} = 1843.20 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the selling price of the product after applying the discount is Rs. 1843.20. ---
