</li></ol> <h2 id="content-id-3490578162-5"><b> Profit And Loss Questions Solution</b></h2><p>The correct answer is <strong>option 5</strong> i.e. <strong>18%</strong></p>

<p>CP = Rs. 48,000</p>

<p>Actual profit = Rs. 1,920</p>

<p>25% sold at 12% profit, 35% sold at y% loss, 40% sold at 20% profit.</p>

<p>Let overall profit % be:</p>

<p>12% × 25/100 − y% × 35/100 + 20% × 40/100 = (1920/48000) × 100</p>

<p>3 − 0.35y + 8 = 4</p>

<p>11 − 0.35y = 4</p>

<p>0.35y = 7</p>

<p>y = 20</p>

<p>If middle lot is sold at 20% profit instead of 20% loss:</p>

<p>New profit % = 12% × 25/100 + 20% × 35/100 + 20% × 40/100 = 3 + 7 + 8 = 18%</p>
