A shopkeeper sells two products A and B. He earns 12% profit on a product A costing Rs. 2000. If the overall profit on selling two products is 17%, then what will be the profit percentage on the other product B costing Rs. 1250?

A 31% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 30% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 21% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Cost Price of A = Rs. 2000
Cost Price of B = Rs. 1250
Profit on A = 0.12 × 2000 = Rs. 240
Overall profit = 0.17 × 3250 = Rs. 552.5
Profit on B = 552.5 – 240 = Rs. 312.5
Profit percentage = 312.5/1250 × 100 = 25%
