A man sells an article at a profit of 20%. If he had sold it for Rs. 24 more, he would have made a profit of 30%. What is the cost price of the article?
A. 80
B. 120
C. 100
D. 120
Correct Answer: D Let the cost price of the article be x. With a 20% profit, the selling price is 1.2x. With a 30% profit, the selling price would be 1.3x.
