Correct Option: A
Let C.P. of all goods be Rs. 300.
C.P. of one - third goods = Rs. 100
∴ S.P. of one - third goods at 15% loss = Rs. 85
| Required S.P. of all the goods = | | = Rs. 330 | | 100 |
∴ S.P. of goods of worth Rs. 200 = Rs. (330 – 85) = Rs. 245
Profit = 245 - 200 = $ 45
| ∴ Required profit percent = | | × 100 | | 200 |
| Required profit percent = | = 22 | % | 2 | 2 |
