Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 250.83

Given:

Akash purchased two cups for Rs 390 and 460 respectively.

Upon selling the second cup at Rs. 575, he made a total profit of 245 on both the cups. 

The profit percentage for the two cups is interchanged.

Formula Used:

Profit or Gain = Selling price – Cost Price

Loss = Cost Price – Selling Price

Profit percentage = (Profit /Cost Price) x 100

Loss percentage = (Loss/Cost price) x 100

Calculation:  

1st 2nd
390  460 (Cost Price)
520  575 (Selling price)
130  115 (profit)
33.33 25 (p%)
25  33.33 (new p%)

                  

1st profit = Rs. (390 × 1/4) = Rs. 97.5

2nd profit = Rs. (460 × 1/3) = Rs. 153.33

Total profit = Rs. 250.83

∴ His total profit is Rs. 250.83
