A. $$26\frac{2}{3}$$%
B. 25%
C. 30%
D. $$33\frac{1}{3}$$%
Answer: Option A
Solution(By Examveda Team)
To get 20% profit on whole, 1000(CP) ⇒ 20%(gain) ⇒ 1200(SP) Total Profit = 1200 - 1000 = Rs. 200 400 ⇒ 10%(gain) ⇒ 440 He gets Rs. 40 profit on 400Rest Profit = 200 - 40 = 160 Then he must get Rs. 160 as profit on Rs. 600 Hence, % profit
= $$\frac{{160 \times 100}}{{600}}$$
= $$\frac{{80}}{3}$$
= $$26\frac{2}{3}$$%
