Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 35% Given: Punit purchased goods of Rs. 450 and sold 1/3 at a loss of 10% The gain has to be 20% on the whole transaction. Formula Used: Profit percentage = {(SP – CP)/CP} × 100 Calculation: Let the remaining gain % be = 'a' 150 × 90/100 + 300 × (100 + a)/100 = (450 × 120)/100 ⇒ 135 + 3 × (100 + a) = 540 ⇒ 3 × (100 + a) = 540 – 135 = 405 ⇒ 100 + a = 135 ⇒ a = 35 ∴ Gain percentage should be 35% on the remaining items. |
