    E) 14.51%
    View Answer
      Option  C
    Solution:
    CP : MP = 2x : 3x
    => profit = x
    profit % : discount % = 3 : 2
    Let CP = 200 , SP = 300
    But (3x/100)*200 + (2x/100)*300  = 100
    => x = 8.33%
    Discount 2x = 16.66%

    View Answer
      Option D

    women’s shirts comprise 60% of the output.
    Therefore, Men’s shirts comprise 40% of the output.
    Average profit from men’s shirts = 8% of 40 = 3.2 out of 40
    Overall average profit = 6 out of 100
    Average profit from women’s shirts = 2.8 out of 60
    = 0.0466 out of each shirt.

    Invetsment          3x ———— 4x ————— 5x
    Rate of return     6y% ———-5y%————— 4y%
    Return                (18xy/100)—-(20xy/100)—–(20xy/100)
    Total = (18+20+20) = 58xy/100

    Total earnings = 58xy/100 = 7250

    Single equivalent discount for 10% and 15% = (15 + 10  – (15*10/100))%
    = 23.5%
    CP of DVD = 200*(100- 23.5)% = Rs.153
    Expense on transport = Rs. 7
    Actual CP = 153 + 7 = Rs. 160
    Profit % = [(208 – 160)/160]*100 = 30%

  5. Thanks for revealing your ideas with this blog. As well, a fairy tale regarding the banking institutions intentions when talking about foreclosure is that the bank will not have my payments. There is a fair bit of time that the bank can take payments every now and then. If you are very deep inside hole, they’re going to commonly desire that you pay that payment in full. However, i am not saying that they will not take any sort of payments at all. If you and the financial institution can seem to work a little something out, a foreclosure course of action may halt. However, if you ever continue to neglect payments underneath the new plan, the home foreclosure process can pick up where it left off.
