Question
Hemant sold 10 sarees for a total profit of Rs. 460 and 12 sarees for a total profit of Rs. 144. At what profit per saree should he sell the remaining 20 sarees so that he gets an average profit of Rs. 18 per sarees?
Answer: Option B
- Total profit required = Rs.(42 x 18) = Rs.756
Profit on 22 sarees = Rs. (460 + 144) = Rs. 604
Profit on 20 sarees = Rs. (756 – 604) = Rs. 152
Average profit on these sarees = Rs.(152/20) = Rs. 7.60
