Three-fourth of a consignment was sold at a profit of 8% and the rest at a loss of 4%. If there was an overall profit of Rs.600, then find the value of the consignment.

Rs. 15,000 Rs.6,000 Rs. 18,000 Rs.12,000

Rs.12,000

Let the value of the consignment is Rs X \(\frac{3x}{4}\) × \(\frac{8}{100}\) - \(\frac{1x}{4}\) ×  \(\frac{4}{100}\) =600 \(\frac{24x}{400}\) - \(\frac{4x}{400}\) = 600 \(\frac{20x}{400}\) =  600 x = 12000
