Question : A fruit seller sells $\frac{2}{5}$th part of fruits at a profit of 10% and remaining at a loss of 5%. If the total profit is INR 1850, then what is the total cost price of fruits?

Option 1: INR 198000

Option 2: INR 205000

Option 3: INR 185000

Option 4: INR 176000

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 185000


Solution : Let $x$ be the cost price of fruits.
Profit = 10%
Selling price of $\frac{2}{5}^{th}$ part of fruits = $\frac{2}{5}×x×\frac{110}{100}$ = $0.44x$
Loss = 5%
Selling price of remaining part of fruits = $\frac{3}{5}×x×\frac{95}{100}$ = $0.57x$
Total selling price = $0.44x + 0.57x= 1.01x$
