Answer:
=======

Total cost price of goods is Rs.450

On whole transaction we have to get a profit of 20%

That is,

$=( \frac{20}{100} \times 450)$

$= 90$

So,

The total amount we have to get is,

$450 + 90 = 540$

Now,

$\frac{1}{3}rd$ of goods which costs $Rs.150$

That is,

$\frac{1}{3}rd$cost price.

Here,

We are selling goods for a loss of 10%

That is,

$= (\frac{10 \times 150}{100} )$

$= 15$ is loss.

We are selling this

$\frac{1}{3} rd$

For,

$Rs.135$

Total amount we had to get is $540$

Remaining is,

$540 - 135 = 405$

Now,

This should be get on remaining,

$\frac{2}{3}rd$of goods which costs $Rs.300$

So,

Profit percentage,

$= (\frac{405 - 300}{300} \times 100 )$

$= 35\%$

Therefore,

Correct option A) 35%

Answer 2

If goods be purchased for ₹450 and 1/3 is sold at a loss of 10%. At what gain % should the remainder is sold to has to gain 20% on the whole transaction?
A) 35%
B) 28%
C) 22%
D) 19%

Answer: A) 35%

Explanation:

Assume Total cost price of goods = Rs. 450
Our target SP of total goods = 120100×450=Rs.540

One-third of the goods costs = 450/3 = Rs.150

SP of one-third goods = 90100×150=Rs.135.

SP of the remaining goods = 540 – 135 = Rs. 405

CP of remaining (two-thirds) goods = Rs. 300

Hence, profit per cent = .105300×100=35%
