Some fruits are bought at 15 for ₹140 and an equal number of fruits at 10 for ₹120. If all the fruits are sold at ₹132 per dozen, then what is the profit percent in the entire transaction? |
$3 \frac{1}{8}$ $4 \frac{1}{2}$ $2 \frac{1}{4}$ 3 |
$3 \frac{1}{8}$ |
Let total fruit brought = 30 So, Let 30 fruits are bought at 15 for Rs. 140, then cost of 30 fruits = \(\frac{140}{15}\) × 30 = Rs. 280 ⇒ 30 fruits are also brought at 10 for Rs. 120, then cost of 30 fruits = \(\frac{120}{10}\) × 30 = Rs. 360 ⇒ Total cost of 60 fruits = Rs. 280 + Rs. 360 = Rs. 640 SP of 12 fruits = Rs. 132 SP of 1 fruit = Rs. 11 SP of 60 fruits = Rs. 11 × 60 = Rs. 660 Profit = 660 – 640 = Rs. 20 Profit percent = \(\frac{20}{640}\) × 100 = 3.125 |
