SSC MTS - 07/10/2024 - (4:00 PM - 5:30 PM) • Quantitative Aptitude • Q13

Surendra bought an old bicycle for ₹2,500 and spent ₹300 on its repair. He sold it for ₹3,000. Find his profit percentage.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e 717%7\frac{1}{7}\%

Cost Price (CP) of the bicycle = ₹2,500

Repair cost = ₹300

So, Total Cost Price = ₹2,500 + ₹300 = ₹2,800

Selling Price (SP) = ₹3,000

Profit = SP − CP = 3000 − 2800 = ₹200

Profit % = (Profit/Cost Price​) × 100 = (200/2800​) × 100 = 20000/2800 = 717%7\frac{1}{7}\%
