Question

    The average profit of a shop for the first 3 months is

    Rs.500 per month. If the shop owner wants the average profit to be Rs.800 per month over 6 months, what should be the average profit for the remaining months?
    A 1085 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1175 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3125 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Total profit required = 800 × 6 = Rs.4800

    Profit in 3 months = 500 × 3 = Rs.1500

    Required profit = 4800 - 1500 = Rs.3300

    Required average profit in remaining months = 3300 ÷ 3 = Rs.1100 per month
