      Question

      A man purchased two items together for a total of Rs.

      480. He sold one item at a profit of 30% and the other at a loss of 20%. In the end, he achieved an overall profit of 15% on the entire transaction. What is the selling price of the item that was sold at a 30% profit?
      A Rs. 480 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 340 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 239.80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 436.80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      So, let the cost price of the items be Rs.7x and Rs.3x Or, (7x + 3x) = 480 So, 10x = 480 So, 'x' = 48 Therefore, required selling price = Rs. 48 X 7 X 1.3 = Rs. 436.8
