Answer 1

Answer:100,000

Step-by-step explanation:

If he sold 1/3 of the land in 20% loss, he bought it 100,000 and sold it for 80,000. For the remaining 2/5 he bought it 60,000 and sold that part for 120,000. Total selling price so far is 300,000, To make an overall profit of 10%, he must sell it for 330,000. So 330,000-300,000=300,000 and divide it by 3 because there are 3 parts= 100,000. Hope it helps.
