SSC MTS 2022 PYQ — Question 53

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 40%

Given a helmet is sold for ₹1,650 at a profit of 10%

We need to find when the selling price is ₹2,100, what will be the profit percentage

Let x be the profit percent then,

$\dfrac{2100}{1650}$ = $\dfrac{100+x}{100+10}$

$\dfrac{16}{11}$ = $\dfrac{100+x}{110}$

x = 40

Therefore there will be profit of 40% when the same article is sold at Rs. 2100
