Question

Ahmed buys a plot of land for 480000 rupees. He sells 2 by 5 of it at a loss of 6 percent. At what gain percent should he sells the remaining part of the plot to gain 10 percent gain on the whole.

Answer 1

2/5th part=192000 rupees sold at 6%loss! so loss is 6/100*192000=11520
And total profit must be=10%of 480000
=48000
so we must make profit of 48000+11520=59520 from 288000(3/5th of 480000)
59520/480000*100=20⅔%
or 20.66666666%
