CUET UG 2025 — General Test Arithmetic

The problem involves three selling prices:

• Rs. 1060 gives a profit
• Rs. 950 gives a loss
• Unknown price should give exactly 20% profit (to be found)

The profit from selling at Rs. 1060 is 20% more than the loss from selling at Rs. 950.

Let Cost Price $= CP$=CP

When selling at Rs. 1060:

Profit $= 1060 - CP$=1060−CP

When selling at Rs. 950:

Loss $= CP - 950$=CP−950

---

The profit is 20% more than the loss:

Profit $= 1.2 \times$=1.2× Loss

$$1060 - CP = 1.2 \times (CP - 950)$$1060−CP=1.2×(CP−950)

$$1060 - CP = 1.2CP - 1140$$1060−CP=1.2CP−1140

$$1060 + 1140 = 1.2CP + CP$$1060+1140=1.2CP+CP

$$2200 = 2.2CP$$2200=2.2CP

$$CP = \dfrac{2200}{2.2}$$CP=2.22200​

$$CP = 1000$$CP=1000

---

For 20% profit:

Profit $= 20\%$=20% of $CP$CP

Profit $= \dfrac{20}{100} \times 1000$=10020​×1000

Profit $= 200$=200

Selling Price $= CP + \text{Profit}$=CP+Profit

Selling Price $= 1000 + 200$=1000+200

Selling Price $= 1200$=1200

---

The answer is Option 3: Rs. 1200
