The original price of handbag was increased by 40% if the price of half a dozen handbags was rupees 1680 what was the original price of one such bag?

A200

B220

C240

D260

Answer:

A. 200

Read Explanation:

Let the original price of handbag be 100x

when the price increased by 40%

new price = 140x

the price of half a dozen handbags was rupees 1680

price of 6 handbags = 1680

price of one handbag = $\frac{1680}{6}$ = 280

ie., 280 is the new prize of the handbag.

⇒140x=280

$x= 2$

Original prize of handbag = $100\times{2}$

$=200 Rs.$
