SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level - 1st August 2025 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q37

A seller buys 240 Television. He sells some of them at a gain of 20% and the remaining at a gain of 30%. If he gains 28% on the whole, then how many did he sell at a gain of 20%?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Let the number of televisions sold at a 20% profit be x.

Number of televisions sold at a 30% profit = 240 − x

20x + 30(240 − x) = 28 × 240

20x + 7200 − 30x = 6720

480 = 10x

x = 48
