    Solution

    According to the question Let the cost price of each notebook, each marker, and each highlighter be Rs. тАШyтАЩ Selling price of each notebook = (240/6) = Rs. 40 Selling price of each marker = (1080/18) = Rs. 60 According to the question, (40тАУy)/y├Ч100=cтАжтАж (I) Also, (60тАУy)/y├Ч100=dтАжтАж (II) Dividing equation (I) by (II), we get (40тАУy)/(60тАУy)=c/d Or, (40тАУy)/(60тАУy)=c/2c Or, 80yтАУ2y=60тАУy Or, y=20 Therefore, the cost price of all the highlighters = Rs. 12y = Rs. 240 Required profit = 360 тАУ 240 = Rs.120
