Answer 1

Ans.- 36%

( In simple explanation- 1st half sell 28% and total profit want 32%

Total 1st half less profit is 32% - 28% = 4%

Adjust exatra 4% of of profit in 2nd half goods sell = 32% + 4% = 36% Ans

Solution:-

 X bought some goods worth rs28,000

and sold half of them at a profit of 28%.

So,

half goods is = 28000/2 = 14000 Rs

1st half

Profit at 28% rate = 14000 × 28/100

                              = 3920 Rs

If X selled 2nd half goods at

32 % profit rate = 14000 × 32/100

                           = 4480 Rs.

Now,

         

Difference between profit of 1st half and second half is

                           = 4480 - 3920

                           = 560 rs.

X Will needs to adjust extra profit from 2nd half sell = 4480 + 560

= 5040 Rs

So then,

Reset profit % of 2nd half goods sell

= 5040 × 100/14000

= 36% Answer
