Commercial Arithmetic Solution:

  1. Initial Selling Price (SP₁) = ₹ 1140; Loss = 5%
  2. Cost Price (CP) Calculation:
    CP = [SP₁ × 100] / (100 - 5) = (1140 × 100) / 95 = ₹ 1,200
  3. Target Profit = 5%
  4. Required Selling Price (SP₂):
    SP₂ = CP × 1.05 = 1200 × 1.05 = ₹ 1,260

Final Answer: The bicycle must be sold for ₹ 1,260.

हिंदी में प्रश्न एवं आदर्श उत्तर

एक व्यक्ति को अपनी साइकिल ₹ 1140 में बेचने पर 05% का घाटा होता है । साइकिल को कितने में बेचने पर उसे 05% का लाभ होगा ?

हल:

  1. प्रथम स्थिति में विक्रय मूल्य SP₁ = ₹ 1140, हानि प्रतिशत L% = 5%
  2. क्रय मूल्य (Cost Price) की गणना:
    CP = [SP₁ × 100] / [100 - Loss %]
    CP = (1140 × 100) / 95 = 114000 / 95 = ₹ 1200
  3. द्वितीय स्थिति में अभीष्ट लाभ प्रतिशत P% = 5%
  4. नया विक्रय मूल्य (SP₂):
    SP₂ = CP × [(100 + Profit %) / 100]
    SP₂ = 1200 × (105 / 100) = 12 × 105 = ₹ 1260

उत्तर: 5% लाभ अर्जित करने हेतु साइकिल को ₹ 1,260 में बेचना होगा।
