Q.

A sweet seller sells 3/5th part of sweets at a profit of 10% and remaining at a loss of 5%. If the total profit is Rs 1500, then what is the total cost price of sweets ?

View Answer

Correct choice: A

Explanation:

Assume A be the cost price. Therefore, (3/5 × A × 10/100) − (2/5×A×5/100) = 1500 => A = Rs 37,500.
