Question:

Sonu bought 35 books for Rs.676 and sold them at a profit equal to the selling price of 9 books. The selling price of 1 book is:

Options:

Rs.26

Rs.28

Rs.27

Rs.30

Correct Answer:

Rs.26

Explanation:

S.P. of 35 - C.P. of 35 = S.P. of 9 (profit)

S.P. of 26 = C.P. of 35

C.P. of 35 = Rs. 676 (given)

Therefore,

S.P. of 26 = Rs. 676

S.P. of 1 = Rs.26
