Question

a farmer purchased a piece of land for 1,50,000 he sold one third of it at a loss of 6% at what gain percent should he sell the remaining piece of land in order to gain 10% on the whole lot

Answer 1

1/3×150000=50000
1st sp=96/100×50000=48000
required sp=110/100×150000=165000
2nd sp= 165000-48000=117000
117000-100000=17000
17000/100000×100=17%
