Question : An article is sold for Rs. 4,800 at a profit of 20%. If the selling price is increased by Rs. 600, then what will be the profit percentage?
Option 1: 40%
Option 2: 25%
Option 3: 30%
Option 4: 35%
Correct Answer: 35%
Solution :
The selling price of the article is Rs. 4,800, and this price includes a profit of 20%.
Cost Price = $\frac{100}{120}$ × 4800 = Rs. 4,000
Now, if the selling price is increased by Rs. 600, the new selling price becomes Rs. 4,800 + Rs. 600 = Rs. 5,400
$\text{New Profit percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{New selling price} - \text{Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}}\right) \times 100= \left(\frac{5400 -4000}{4000}\right) \times 100 = 35\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 35%.
