    Q1. A shopkeeper loses 15%, if an article is sold for Rs. 102. What should be the selling price of the article to gain 20%?

    • A) Rs. 150
    • B) Rs. 144
    • C) Rs. 138
    • D) Rs. 132

    Answer: Rs. 144

    Explanation: If SP = Rs. 102 yields a 15% loss, CP = 102/0.85 = Rs. 120; for 20% gain, SP = 120 × 1.20 = Rs. 144.
