Question

Using the same caselet, if the shop sells 10 more items (5 additional A and 5 additional B) under the same profit conditions, what will be the total profit from all 20 items?

• A. Rs. 600
• B. Rs. 650
• C. Rs. 700
• D. Rs. 750

Hint:

For scaled-up quantities, calculate profit for additional units using the same rates and sum with the original profit.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- Step 1: Original 10 items: 5 A (profit Rs. 20 each) and 5 B (profit Rs. 50 each). Total profit = $5 \times 20 + 5 \times 50 = 100 + 250 = 350$.
- Step 2: Additional 10 items: 5 A and 5 B. Profit from additional items = $5 \times 20 + 5 \times 50 = 100 + 250 = 350$.
- Step 3: Total profit for 20 items = Original profit + Additional profit = $350 + 350 = 700$.
- Step 4: Verify: Total A = 10, profit = $10 \times 20 = 200$. Total B = 10, profit = $10 \times 50 = 500$. Total = $200 + 500 = 700$.
- Step 5: Check options: Option (3) is Rs. 700, which matches.
- Step 6: Ensure correct quantities and profit rates.
