      Question

      A shopkeeper sells two products A and B. He earns 17.5%

      profit on a product A costing Rs. 1500. If the overall profit on selling two products is 20%, then what will be the profit percentage on the other product B costing Rs. 1000?
      A 35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 23.75% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 43% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 27% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 28.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Cost Price of A = Rs. 1500
      Cost Price of B = Rs. 1000
      Profit on A = 0.175 × 1500 = Rs. 262.5
      Overall profit = 0.20 × 2500 = Rs. 500
      Profit on B = 500 – 262.5 = Rs. 237.5
      Profit percentage = 237.5/1000 × 100 = 23.75 %
