Here is your answer !!

_____________________________

C.P. of goods = ₹ 840

Profit % = 20 %

S.P. of goods = ?



S.P. of goods = ₹ 1008

___________________________

C.P. of 1/4 of goods = 1/4 × 840

=> ₹ 210

Loss % = 20 %

S.P. of 1/4 of good = ?



S.P. of 1/4 of goods = ₹ 168

Remaining goods = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4 of goods

S.P. of remaining goods = 3/4 × 1008

=> ₹ 756

C.P. of remaining goods = 3/4 × 840

=> ₹ 630

Gain = ₹ 756 - ₹ 630 = ₹ 126

Gain % = ?

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: if 1/4th items have been sold at a loss of 10%

Then 1×-10 = -10

Remaining 3 items must be sold to get 50% profit so that avg profit would be 10 %

So 3 × Y = 50

So Y would be 16.67%
