Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 25

Given:

(i) Total profit = 50%

(ii) 1st buyer’s profit = 20%

Calculations:

Let CP be 100

Then, SP is 150.

Let Profit made by 2nd dealer be x%

Then, (100 + x)% of 120% of 100 = 150

⇒ (100 + x)/100 × 120/100 × 100 = 150

⇒ 6(100 + x) = 750

⇒ 600 + 6x = 750

⇒ 6x = 750 – 600

⇒ 6x = 150

⇒ X = 25%

the profit of the 2nd dealer is 25%.
