A man buys a watch for Rs. 1950 in cash and sells it for Rs. 2200 at a credit of 1 year. If the rate of interest is 10% per annum, the man:
gains Rs. 55
gains Rs. 50
loses Rs. 30
gains Rs. 30
Answer: Option
Explanation:

S.P. = P.W. of Rs. 2200 due 1 year hence
= Rs. 2200 x 100
100 + (10 x 1)
= Rs. 2000.

Gain = Rs. (2000 - 1950) = Rs. 50.

2200 is M.P.
n if x is S.P.
then x*1.1=2200
x=2000

2200 is mark price and interest is 10% then
if selling price is x
then x*1.1=2200
so x=2000

He got 2200 after 1 year. It also include interest at 10%.

That means the watch was sold at actual price of rs.2000
200 was interest, with cant be taken as profit.

So there was a gain of Rs. 50.
