Answer:
17%
Step-by-step explanation:
No. of bulbs =200, Cost of each bulb =10
Total C.P=200×10=2000
5 of them were discarded so only (200−5)=195 were sold, at a rate of 12 per each bulb.
Total S.P=195×12=2340
Profit or loss =S.P–C.P=2340–2000=+340 (Profit)
Percent profit =
C.P
Profit
×100=
2000
340
×100=17
∴ Profit is Rs.340 or 17%.

Answer:
total cp is 200 *10 which is 2000
and price of fused one is 50 so 2000-50
which is 1050.
then 105 remaining bulbs
105*12 which is 1260
and then 1260-1050 =210
gain percent =sp-cp /cp*100
=210/1050*100
=20%
