Question : The price of land passing through three hands rises on the whole by 65%. The first and second sellers earned 20% and 25% profit, respectively. Find the profit percentage earned by the third seller.
Option 1: 10%
Option 2: 20%
Option 3: 25%
Option 4: 15%
Correct Answer: 10%
Solution : Let the initial price be 100. Selling price after 1st profit of 20% = 120 Selling price after 2nd profit of 25% = $120\times\frac{125}{100}$ = 150 Overall profit = 65% Selling price after 3rd profit = 165 Remaining profit after two profits = 165 – 150 = 15 Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Remaining profit}}{\text{Selling price after 2nd profit}}\times100$ = $\frac{15}{150}\times100$ = 10 Hence, the correct answer is 10%.
