      Solution

      Solution-Let the number of pencils =300

      sold 20% of pencils at 25% loss=300× (20/100) =60× (75/100) =45

      one third at 20% profit=300× (1/3) =100× (120/100) =120

      and now remaining pencils =300-(60+100) =140

      140 pencils sold on 25% profit =140×125/100=175

      Earn profit = (175+120+45) -(300)

      =340-300

      =40

      ATQ-

      40=248

      10=62

      300=1860

      Total number of pencils=300=1860.
