    Question

    A man purchased an item for ₹1,200, spent ₹300 on its repairs and sold it for ₹2,000. What is the profit percentage?

    A.

    3313\tfrac{1}{3}%​

    B.

    33%

    C.

    66.66%

    D.

    40%

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    Cost Price (CP) = ₹1,200

    Repair Cost = ₹300 (This is an additional expense, so it is added to CP)

    Total Cost Price = ₹1,200 + ₹300 = ₹1,500

    Selling Price (SP) = ₹2,000

    Formula Used:

    Profit=SP−Total CP

    Profit Percentage=(ProfitTotal CP)×100\text{Profit Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Total CP}} \right) \times 100​​

    Solution:

    Profit=2,000−1,500=500

    Profit Percentage=(5001500)×100\text{Profit Percentage} = \left( \frac{500}{1500} \right) \times 100​​

    = 500×1001500=500001500=\frac{500 \times 100}{1500} = \frac{50000}{1500} = 331333\frac{1}{3}  %

    Option (A) is right.
