Question

    A vegetable vendor bought some vegetables. He sold half

    of them for ₹240 with a profit of 20%. For how much should he sell the remaining vegetables to earn a total profit of 22.5%? 
    A ₹242 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B ₹255 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ₹245 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Sold for ₹240 with a 20% profit = 1.20×CP = 240 ⟹ CP1 = 200 The first half costs ₹200, so the total cost for all vegetables is =  2×200 = 400 Desired profit is 22.5% on ₹400: Total SP = 400×1.225 = 490 Already sold the first half for ₹240,  So, 490 − 240 = 250
