Answer

• CP is 2/5th part of area= 36000-2/5

= Rs. 14400

• Loss of sale of 2/5part of land = 6 %

1. Loss = 14400-6/100

1. Loss = Rs. 864

• SP of 2/5

• part of land = 14400 - 864

• remaining 3/5 part of land = (

36000-3/5

= Rs. 21600

Profit = 10 %

10 % of 36000

= Rs. 3600

• Total profit = Rs.3600 + Rs. 864 {6 % loss to be recovered}

= Rs. 4464
