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%. |
