Question : Arun buys one kilogram of apples for Rs. 120 and sells it to Swati gaining 25%. Swati sells it to Divya who again sells it for Rs. 198, making a profit of 10%. What is the profit percentage made by Swati?
Option 1: 25%
Option 2: 20%
Option 3: 16.67%
Option 4: 15%
Correct Answer: 20%
Solution : Here SP is the selling price and CP is the cost price. CP for Arun = Rs. 120 Profit = 25% SP of apple = $\frac{125}{100}×120$ = Rs. 150 Again, SP by Divya = Rs. 198 Including profit = 10% CP for Divya = $\frac{100}{110}×198$ = Rs. 180 $\therefore$ CP for Swati = Rs. 150 SP for Swati = Rs 180 Profit percentage = $\frac{180-150}{150}×100$ = $\frac{30}{150}×100$ = 20% Hence, the correct answer is 20%.
