Directions for question:
The following Line Graph depicts the Mark-up percentage and the Discount percentage of six types of hand-woven Murshidabad-silk sarees A to F at a Tantuja Store in Kolkata, the West Bengal government handloom and silk saree shop.
Question:
The cost price of Murshidabad-silk saree type A and saree type E is Rs 500 and Rs 600 respectively.
Quantity A : The difference between the selling price of Murshidabad-silk saree type A and saree type E.
Quantity B : Rs 170
A = B
A > B
A < B
Cannot be determined
Profit percentage on saree type A = 12% (found in previous question).
Profit percentage on saree type E = 20% (found in previous question).
Selling price of saree type A = (500*112)/100 = Rs 560
Selling price of saree type E = (600*120)/100 = Rs 720
Hence, difference between the selling price of Murshidabad-silk saree type A and saree type E = 720 – 560 = Rs 160
Hence A < B
