Answer 1

Answer:

Profit = 16.2/3 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula used will be -

Loss/profit percent = Total profit/loss/ cost price × 100

Cost price of 10 lemons = Rs. 30 (Given)

Selling price of 12 lemons = Rs. 42 (Given)

Cost price of 1 lemon = Rs. 30/10 = Rs. 3

Selling price of 1 lemon = 42/12 = Rs. 3.5

Total profit = Selling price – Cost price

= 3.5 – 3 = 0.5

Profit percent = Total profit/ cost price × 100

= 0.5/3× 100

= 16.2/3 %

Thus, nirmal makes a profit of 16.2/3%
