    E If the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From statement (i), we have only SP and MP but since, we have neither the CP nor the profit/loss, we cannot get the answer. From (ii), Let the CP be x and profit be x/3 . SP = CP + Profit 520 = x + x/3 520 = 4x/3 ∴x = Rs. 390 ∴ Profit = 390/3 = 130
