Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
C.P. of Puma shoe = INR 500
Marked up price of Puma shoe is 150% of the cost price
⇒M.P. = INR 750
Discount given is 25% on the marked price
⇒S.P. = 750 – 25% of 750
⇒S.P. = 750 – 187.5
⇒S.P. = INR 562.5
⇒Gain on Puma shoe = INR 62.5
C.P. of Nike shoe = INR 500
Marked up price of Nike shoe is 200% of the cost price
⇒M.P. = INR 1000
Discount given is 45% on the marked price
⇒S.P. = 1000 – 45% of 1000
⇒S.P. = 1000 – 450
⇒S.P. = INR 550
⇒Gain on Nike shoe = INR 50
C.P. of Adidas shoe = INR 500
Marked up price of Adidas shoe is 160% of the cost price
⇒M.P. = INR 800
Discount given is 50% on the marked price
⇒S.P. = 800 – 50% of 800
⇒S.P. = 800 – 400
⇒S.P. = INR 400
⇒Loss on Adidas shoe = INR 100
C.P. of Reebok shoe = INR 500
Marked up price of Reebok shoe is 180% of the cost price
⇒M.P. = INR 900
Discount given is 60% on the marked price
⇒ S.P. = 900 – 60% of 900
⇒ S.P. = 900 – 540
⇒S.P. = INR 360
⇒Loss on Reebok shoe = INR 140
C.P. of Bata shoe = INR 500
Marked up price of Bata shoe is 125% of the cost price
⇒M.P. = INR 625
Discount given is 10% on the marked price
⇒S.P. = 625 – 10% of 625
⇒S.P. = 625 – 62.5
⇒S.P. = INR 562.5
Now, Gain = 562.5 – 500
⇒ Gain on Bata shoe = INR 62.5
Hence, Bata and Puma made the highest gain.
