In each of the following questions, a question is followed by two statement. Read all the statements and find that which statements are required to answer the question and answer accordingly.

    E If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From statement I, S.P = Rs 850 We can find the MP of article as 100/85 × 850 = Rs 1,000 from statement II, We can find the CP of article by using the MP from statement I as 104/100 × 1000 = Rs 1040 Now we have both SP and CP from both statements to find the profit%.
