The correct Answer is:
To find the selling price of the product, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Cost Price (CP) Given that the dealer buys the product at ₹1920, we have: - Cost Price (CP) = ₹1920 ### Step 2: Calculate the Selling Price (SP) with Profit The dealer makes a profit of 20%. To find the Selling Price (SP) when there is a profit, we use the formula: \[ SP = CP + \text{Profit} \] Where Profit can be calculated as: \[ \text{Profit} = \frac{\text{Profit Percentage}}{100} \times CP \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Profit} = \frac{20}{100} \times 1920 = 0.2 \times 1920 = ₹384 \] Now, substituting this back into the SP formula: \[ SP = 1920 + 384 = ₹2304 \] ### Step 3: Account for the Discount The dealer sells the product at a discount of 20%. Let the marked price (MP) be the price before the discount. The selling price after the discount can be expressed as: \[ SP = MP - \text{Discount} \] Where Discount is: \[ \text{Discount} = \frac{20}{100} \times MP \] Thus, we can rewrite the SP formula as: \[ SP = MP - \frac{20}{100} \times MP = MP \times \left(1 - \frac{20}{100}\right) = MP \times 0.8 \] Since we already calculated SP as ₹2304, we can set up the equation: \[ 2304 = MP \times 0.8 \] ### Step 4: Solve for Marked Price (MP) To find the marked price, we rearrange the equation: \[ MP = \frac{2304}{0.8} \] Calculating this gives: \[ MP = 2880 \] ### Step 5: Conclusion Thus, the selling price of the product after applying the discount is ₹2304. ### Summary of the Solution: - Cost Price (CP) = ₹1920 - Profit = ₹384 - Selling Price (SP) = ₹2304 - Marked Price (MP) = ₹2880 ---
