Quantity II: Rs. 350 Correct Answer <span lang="EN-US" style=" line-height: 107%; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">Quantity I > Quantity II</span>
Quantity I:
Marked price of an item = Rs.500
Discount percentage = 5%
Selling price of an item = 500 × 95/100 = Rs. 475
Selling price of an item without discount = Rs. 500
Total selling price of an items = 475 + 500 = Rs. 975
Let cost price of an item be Rs. A.
⇒ 21.875 = (975 – 2A)/2A × 100
⇒ 43.75A = 97500 – 200A
⇒ A = 400
The cost price of an item is Rs. 400
Quantity II: Rs. 350
So, we can observe Quantity I > Quantity II.
