The cost price of a college bag is 240% more than the profit obtained on it selling at Rs. 1540. What is the cost price of that college bag?

1190

1210

1380

1410

Let the profit be Rs. p

Then Cost price of the bag = 340p/100 = 3.4p

According to question,

3.4p + p = 1540

4.4p = 1540

p = 1540/4.4

p = 350

The profit p = Rs, 350

Hence, The cost price of the bag = 3.4p = 3.4 x 350 = Rs. 1190.

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
