The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the selling price of the teapot and the cups separately, and then find the total amount received by Latika. ### Step 1: Calculate the Selling Price of the Teapot 1. **Cost Price of the Teapot**: Rs. 120 2. **Profit Percentage**: 5% 3. **Profit Amount**: \[ \text{Profit} = \frac{5}{100} \times 120 = 6 \] 4. **Selling Price of the Teapot**: \[ \text{Selling Price} = \text{Cost Price} + \text{Profit} = 120 + 6 = 126 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Selling Price of the Cups 1. **Cost Price of the Cups**: Rs. 400 2. **Loss Percentage**: 5% 3. **Loss Amount**: \[ \text{Loss} = \frac{5}{100} \times 400 = 20 \] 4. **Selling Price of the Cups**: \[ \text{Selling Price} = \text{Cost Price} - \text{Loss} = 400 - 20 = 380 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Total Amount Received 1. **Total Amount Received**: \[ \text{Total Amount} = \text{Selling Price of Teapot} + \text{Selling Price of Cups} = 126 + 380 = 506 \] ### Final Answer The total amount received by Latika is **Rs. 506**. ---
