Answer 2

Answer:

Option (d) None of above

Step-by-step explanation:

They have given that shruti sold two books

Let's consider the selling price of the first book is equal to x

The cost price of the second book is equal to the selling price of the first book

Therefore cost price of the second book is also x

Shruti sold the first book with a profit of 50% of x

Shruti sold the second book with a loss of 20% of x

Total profit = 50% - 20%

                  = 30%

Therefore overall profit is 30%
