A. $$36\frac{5}{9}$$%
B. $$30\frac{20}{21}$$%
C. 35%
D. $$28\frac{3}{8}$$%
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Let the CP1 of Product= 300Initial SP1 = 300 + $$33\frac{1}{3}$$% of 300 = 300 + 100 = 400
Now, If cost of the production goes up by 12%.
∴ CP2 = 300 + 12% of 300 = 300 + 36 = 336
Now SP2 = 400 + 10% of 400 = 400 + 40 = 440
Profit = 440 - 336 = 104
Profit % $$ = \frac{{104}}{{336}} \times 100 = 30\frac{{20}}{{21}}\% $$
