Question : The cost price of an article is Rs. 1200. On buying four such articles, the customer gets one for free. If the selling price of each article is Rs. 1800, determine the net percentage profit earned by the shopkeeper on selling four articles.
Option 1: 12%
Option 2: 20%
Option 3: 18%
Option 4: 15%
Correct Answer: 20%
Solution : The cost price of each article is Rs. 1200. Since one is given for free on buying four. The cost price for five articles = Rs. 1200 × 5 = Rs. 6000 However, the shopkeeper sells four articles for Rs. 1800 each. The total selling price = Rs. 1800 × 4 = Rs. 7200 The profit made by the shopkeeper = Rs. 7200 – Rs. 6000 = Rs. 1200 The profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost price}}$ × 100 = $\frac{\text{1200}}{\text{6000}}$ × 100 = 20% Hence, the correct answer is 20%.
