    He spent Rs. 200 on their transportation. He also paid 20 paise per roll for packing of each roll. At what price must he sell each roll to gain 25% overall?
    A Rs. 22.75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 33.75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 32.75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 37.75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Effective cost price of 100 rolls of paper = (100 × 24) + 200 + (100 × 0.2) = 2400 + 200 + 20 = Rs. 2620 Selling price at 25% profit = 1.25 × 2620 = Rs. 3275 Therefore, selling price of each roll of paper = 3275/100 = Rs. 32.75
