A dealer buys a table listed at Rs. 1.500 and gets successive discounts of 20% and 10%. He spends Rs. 20 on transportation and sells at a profit of 20%. Find the Selling Price of the table (in rupees).

Options

A. 1320
B. 1080
C. 1200
D. 1230

Answer

To find the Selling Price of the table, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the first discount
The listed price of the table is Rs. 1500. The dealer gets a discount of 20%.

\[ \text{First Discount} = \text{Listed Price} \times \frac{20}{100} = 1500 \times 0.20 = 300 \]

### Step 2: Calculate the price after the first discount
Now, we subtract the first discount from the listed price.

\[ \text{Price after First Discount} = \text{Listed Price} - \text{First Discount} = 1500 - 300 = 1200 \]

### Step 3: Calculate the second discount
The dealer then gets a second discount of 10% on the new price of Rs. 1200.

\[ \text{Second Discount} = \text{Price after First Discount} \times \frac{10}{100} = 1200 \times 0.10 = 120 \]

### Step 4: Calculate the price after the second discount
Now, we subtract the second discount from the price after the first discount.

\[ \text{Price after Second Discount} = \text{Price after First Discount} - \text{Second Discount} = 1200 - 120 = 1080 \]

### Step 5: Add transportation cost
The dealer spends Rs. 20 on transportation. Therefore, we add this cost to the price after the second discount to find the total cost price.

\[ \text{Cost Price} = \text{Price after Second Discount} + \text{Transportation Cost} = 1080 + 20 = 1100 \]

### Step 6: Calculate the selling price for a profit of 20%
To find the selling price, we need to calculate 20% profit on the cost price.

\[ \text{Profit} = \text{Cost Price} \times \frac{20}{100} = 1100 \times 0.20 = 220 \]

Now, we add the profit to the cost price to find the selling price.

\[ \text{Selling Price} = \text{Cost Price} + \text{Profit} = 1100 + 220 = 1320 \]

### Final Answer
The Selling Price of the table is **Rs. 1320**.
