जेव्हा एक जागा ₹ 18,700 ना विकली, तेव्हा त्या मालकाचे 15% नुकसान झाले. ती जागा किती किंमतीला विकायला पाहिजे होती, म्हणजे 15% नफा झाला असता ? When a plot is sold for ₹ 18,700, the owner loses 15%. At what price must that plot be sold in order to gain 15% ?
1)₹ 21,000
2)₹ 22,000
3)₹ 25,300✓ Correct
4)₹ 25,800
First, find the cost price (CP) of the plot by taking 85% = ₹ 18,700, so CP = 18700 / 0.85 = ₹ 22,000. Then calculate the selling price for a 15% profit: 22,000 * 1.15 = ₹ 25,300.
