SSC CGL - 26 Sep 2024 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q66

If books bought at prices ranging from ₹200 to ₹260 are sold at prices ranging from ₹250 to 300, what is the greatest possible profit that might be made in selling 25 books?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. ₹2,500.

Lowest buying price = ₹200

Highest selling price = ₹300

Profit per book = 300 - 200 = ₹100

Total number of books = 25

The greatest possible profit = 25 × 100 = ₹2500

Therefore, the greatest possible profit that might be made in selling 25 books is ₹2500.
