The correct Answer is:
Let's solve the problem step by step. ### Step 1: Determine the Cost Price (CP) Assume the cost price (CP) of the goods is ₹100. ### Step 2: Calculate the Marked Price (MP) The manufacturer marks his goods at 40% above the cost price. - Marked Price (MP) = CP + 40% of CP - MP = 100 + (40/100) * 100 = 100 + 40 = ₹140 ### Step 3: Calculate the Value of Goods Sold for Cash 3/5 of the goods are sold for cash. - Value of goods sold for cash = (3/5) * MP - Value for cash = (3/5) * 140 = ₹84 ### Step 4: Calculate the Value of Goods Sold for Credit The remaining goods are sold on credit. - Value of goods sold for credit = MP - Value of goods sold for cash - Value for credit = 140 - 84 = ₹56 ### Step 5: Calculate the Selling Price (SP) for Cash Customers A discount of 10% is allowed for cash customers. - Selling Price for cash = (100% - 10%) of Value for cash - SP for cash = (90/100) * 84 = ₹75.60 ### Step 6: Calculate the Selling Price (SP) for Credit Customers A discount of 5% is allowed for credit customers. - Selling Price for credit = (100% - 5%) of Value for credit - SP for credit = (95/100) * 56 = ₹53.20 ### Step 7: Calculate Total Selling Price (SP) Total Selling Price = SP for cash + SP for credit - Total SP = 75.60 + 53.20 = ₹128.80 ### Step 8: Calculate Profit Profit = Total SP - CP - Profit = 128.80 - 100 = ₹28.80 ### Step 9: Calculate Profit Percentage Profit Percentage = (Profit / CP) * 100 - Profit Percentage = (28.80 / 100) * 100 = 28.80% ### Final Answer The percentage of profit when all the goods are sold is **28.80%**. ---
