Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Cost price of article}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {\frac{{5520 + 4080}}{2}} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\frac{{9600}}{2} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 4800}} \cr & {\text{When selling price}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 6000 then}} \cr & {\text{Profit}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {6000 - 4800} \right) \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 1200}} \cr & \therefore {\text{Profit percent}} \cr & = \frac{{1200}}{{4800}} \times 100 \cr & = 25\% \cr} $$
