SSC MTS 5 Aug 2019 Shift 2 Paper

The cost price of articles A and B = 1200 + 1600 = Rs. 2800
⇒ The selling price of articles A and B = cost price × (100 + profit)% = 2800 × 125%
⇒ The selling price of articles A and B = Rs. 3500
⇒ The selling price of articles A + the selling price of articles B = 3500
⇒ 1380 + the selling price of articles B = 3500
⇒ The selling price of articles B = Rs. 2120
⇒ Profit % on article B = [(2120 – 1600)/1600] × 100 = 520/16 = 32.5%
∴ The profit percentage on the selling of article B is 32.5%.
