    Question

    The cost price of a lamp is Rs. 500. A trader bought 18

    such lamps. He sold 8 lamps at 14% profit, 6 lamps at 22% profit and the rest for Rs. 560 each. Determine the total profit earned.
    A Rs.2250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.1325 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.1460 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.1550 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Total selling price of lamps = (8 × 500 × 1.14) + (6 × 500 × 1.22) + (4 × 560) = 4560 + 3660 + 2240 = Rs. 10,460

    And, total cost price = 500 × 18 = Rs. 9,000

    So, profit earned = 10460 - 9000 = Rs. 1,460
