    Let Price of consignment was 100.
    2/3 I.e. 66.66% sold at 5% profit.
    So, SP = 66.66 + 5% of 66.66 = 69.99 = 70 (approx.)
    Rest, 33.33% sold at 2% loss.
    SP = 33.33 - 2% of 33.33 = 32.66.
    Total SP = 70 + 32.66 = 102.66
    Profit = 4000
    102.66 - 100 = 4000
    2.66 = 4000
    1 = 4000/2.66
    100 = (4000*100)/2.66
    100 = 150376 (Approx)
    CP of consignment was Rs. 150376.
