    Question

    If 70 percent of total articles are sold at a profit of 20 percent and remaining articles are sold at a loss of 10 percent, then what will be the overall profit percentage?

    A.

    12 percent

    B.

    8 percent

    C.

    15 percent

    D.

    11 percent

    Correct option is D


    Given:
    70% of articles are sold at a profit of 20%, and the remaining are sold at a loss of 10%.
    Formula Used:
    Overall Profit % = (Sum of individual profits and losses) / (Total Cost Price) × 100
    Solution:
    Let the CP of 100 Article = Rs. 100
    Condition first:
    SP of the 70% articles = 70 * 120% = 84
    Condition second:
    SP of the 30% articles = 30 * 90% = 27
    Total SP = 84 + 27 = 111
    Now, Total profit = SP – CP = 111 – 100 = 11%
