Reyan purchased a laptop for ₹56,000 and a scanner-cum-printer for ₹22,000. He sold the laptop for a 20% profit and the scanner-cum-printer for a 15% profit. What is his profit percentage?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 18233918\frac{23}{39}.

SP of laptop = 56000 × 120/100

⇒ 67200

SP of scanner-cum-printer = 22000 × 115/100

⇒ 25300

Total CP = 56000 + 22000 = 78000

Total SP = 67200 + 25300 = 92500

Required profit percentage = [(92500 - 78000)/78000] × 100

⇒ 100 × 14500/78000 = 18233918\frac{23}{39}
