The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the given information about the goods sold at different profit and loss percentages. ### Step 1: Understand the distribution of goods We know that 60% of the goods are sold at a 5% loss, and the remaining 40% are sold at a 10% profit. ### Step 2: Assign a value to the total worth of goods Let the total worth of the goods be \( x \). ### Step 3: Calculate the worth of goods sold at a loss The worth of goods sold at a 5% loss (60% of total goods): \[ \text{Worth of goods sold at loss} = 0.6x \] The selling price of these goods (since they are sold at a 5% loss): \[ \text{Selling Price (SP) at loss} = \text{Cost Price (CP)} - \text{Loss} = 0.6x - 0.05(0.6x) = 0.6x - 0.03x = 0.57x \] ### Step 4: Calculate the worth of goods sold at a profit The worth of goods sold at a 10% profit (40% of total goods): \[ \text{Worth of goods sold at profit} = 0.4x \] The selling price of these goods (since they are sold at a 10% profit): \[ \text{Selling Price (SP) at profit} = \text{Cost Price (CP)} + \text{Profit} = 0.4x + 0.1(0.4x) = 0.4x + 0.04x = 0.44x \] ### Step 5: Calculate the total selling price Now, we can calculate the total selling price of all goods: \[ \text{Total Selling Price} = \text{SP at loss} + \text{SP at profit} = 0.57x + 0.44x = 1.01x \] ### Step 6: Relate total selling price to total profit We know that the total profit is ₹100. The profit can also be calculated as: \[ \text{Total Profit} = \text{Total Selling Price} - \text{Total Cost Price} = 1.01x - x = 0.01x \] Setting this equal to the total profit: \[ 0.01x = 100 \] ### Step 7: Solve for x To find \( x \): \[ x = \frac{100}{0.01} = 10000 \] ### Conclusion The worth of the goods sold is ₹10,000. ---
