What is the cost incurred in the procurement and sale of 01?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. ₹1,50,000

 Profit percentage =Revenue−CostCost×100=\frac{Revenue-Cost}{Cost}\times100

20 = {(180 - cost)/cost} x 100

20cost = 18000 - 100cost

120cost = 18000

cost = 150 thousand or 150000
