A bought a thing in ₹900 and sold to B at 25% profit. B sold it to C on ₹1350 at a loss of 10%. What is the approx. profit percentage of B?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
A buys an article for Rs.900 and sells it to B at a profit of 25%. B sells it to C, who sells it for Rs.1,350, at a loss of 10%.
Now, SP for A =\(\frac{125}{100}\) × 900 = 1125 = CP for B
ATQ,
B sells it to C, who sells it for Rs.1,350, at a loss of 10%
SP for B × \(\frac{9}{10}\) = 1350
SP for B = 1350 × \(\frac{9}{10}\)
SP for B = 1500
Profit% = (1500 - 1125) ×\(\frac{100}{1125}\) = 33.33% = 33%
