If the selling price is doubled, the profit triples. Find the profit %: |
50% \(105\frac{1}{3} \%\) \(66\frac{2}{3} \%\) 100% |
100% |
Assume Selling Price be S Cost Price = C Profit = P = S-C New Doubled Selling Price S' = 2S New Tripled Profit P' = 3P P% = 3P*100/C = 3(S-C)*100/C ..... (1) Also P% = (2S-C)*100/C ....(2) Equating 1and 2, 3(S-C)*100/C = (2S-C)*100/C 3S - 3C = 2S - C S = 2C P = (S-C) = (2C-C) = C P% = C*100/C = 100% The correct answer is Option (4) → 100% |
