Correct Answer :

Option D

10

Solution :

The correct option is 10.

Let us break down the problem step-by-step to understand how we arrive at this answer.

Step 1: Understand the Cost Price and Marked Price
Let the cost price (CP) of the product for Gopi be x rupees.
Gopi marks the price of the product to make a 20% profit.
Therefore, the marked price (MP) is set at 20% above the cost price:
MP = x + 0.20 x = 1.2 x

Step 2: Calculate the Discount and Marked Price using the Savings
Ravi gets a 10% discount on this marked price, which saves him Rs 15.
This means that 10% of the marked price is equal to Rs 15:
10 %  of  MP = 15
0.10 × MP = 15
MP = 15 0.10 = 150
So, the marked price of the product is Rs 150.

Step 3: Find the Cost Price for Gopi
Now we can relate the marked price back to Gopi's cost price x:
1.2 x = 150
x = 150 1.2 = 125
Thus, the cost price of the product for Gopi is Rs 125.

Step 4: Find the Selling Price to Ravi
Ravi buys the product at the marked price minus the discount (or savings):
Selling Price (SP) = MP - Discount
SP = 150 - 15 = 135
So, Gopi sells the product to Ravi for Rs 135.

Step 5: Calculate the Profit made by Gopi
The profit made by Gopi is the difference between the selling price to Ravi and his original cost price:
Profit = SP - CP
Profit = 135 - 125 = 10
Therefore, the profit made by Gopi is Rs 10.
