The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will calculate both quantities step by step. ### Step 1: Calculate Quantity I (Q1) We need to find the cost price (CP) of an article that is sold for Rs. 450 at a profit of 20%. 1. **Understanding Profit Percentage**: - If the selling price (SP) is Rs. 450 and the profit percentage is 20%, we can express this as: \[ SP = CP + \text{Profit} \] - The profit can also be expressed as: \[ \text{Profit} = \frac{20}{100} \times CP = 0.2 \times CP \] - Therefore, we can rewrite the selling price equation as: \[ SP = CP + 0.2 \times CP = 1.2 \times CP \] 2. **Substituting the Selling Price**: - Substitute SP with 450: \[ 450 = 1.2 \times CP \] 3. **Solving for Cost Price**: - To find CP, we divide both sides by 1.2: \[ CP = \frac{450}{1.2} = 375 \] 4. **Calculating Profit**: - Now, we can find the profit: \[ \text{Profit} = SP - CP = 450 - 375 = 75 \] Thus, Quantity I (Q1) is Rs. 75. ### Step 2: Calculate Quantity II (Q2) Now we will find the cost price of an article that is sold for Rs. 84 at a profit of 20%. 1. **Understanding the Selling Price**: - Similar to before, we have: \[ SP = CP + \text{Profit} \] - The profit is again: \[ \text{Profit} = 0.2 \times CP \] - Thus, we can express the selling price as: \[ SP = 1.2 \times CP \] 2. **Substituting the Selling Price**: - Substitute SP with 84: \[ 84 = 1.2 \times CP \] 3. **Solving for Cost Price**: - To find CP, we divide both sides by 1.2: \[ CP = \frac{84}{1.2} = 70 \] Thus, Quantity II (Q2) is Rs. 70. ### Step 3: Compare Quantities Now we compare the two quantities: - Quantity I (Q1) = Rs. 75 - Quantity II (Q2) = Rs. 70 Since 75 > 70, we conclude that Quantity I is greater than Quantity II. ### Final Answer - **Q1 > Q2**. Therefore, the answer is **Option A**.
