To manufacture an article the ratio of raw manterial and labour in respect to total cost is `70%` and `30%` respectively and profit is `14(2)/(7)%` of raw material. If cost of rraw material and labour increased by `20%` and `40%` respectively and selling price by `80%` then find the profit percent ?

Options

A. `54.6%`
B. `57.6%`
C. `50.6%`
D. `55.6%`

Answer

To solve the problem step-by-step, we will follow the given information and perform the necessary calculations.

### Step 1: Determine the initial costs of raw material and labor.
The total cost is divided into raw material and labor in the ratio of 70% and 30%, respectively.

Let the total cost be \( C \).

- Raw Material Cost (RMC) = \( 70\% \) of \( C = 0.7C \)
- Labor Cost (LC) = \( 30\% \) of \( C = 0.3C \)

### Step 2: Calculate the profit based on raw material.
The profit is given as \( 14\frac{2}{7}\% \) of the raw material cost.

First, convert \( 14\frac{2}{7}\% \) to an improper fraction:
\[ 14\frac{2}{7} = \frac{14 \times 7 + 2}{7} = \frac{98 + 2}{7} = \frac{100}{7}\% \]

Now, calculate the profit:
\[ \text{Profit} = \frac{100}{7}\% \text{ of } RMC = \frac{100}{7} \times 0.7C = \frac{70C}{7} = 10C \]

### Step 3: Calculate the initial selling price.
The selling price (SP) is the sum of the costs and profit:
\[ SP = RMC + LC + \text{Profit} \]
\[ SP = 0.7C + 0.3C + 10C = 11C \]

### Step 4: Calculate the new costs after the increase.
- Raw material cost increases by \( 20\% \):
\[ \text{New RMC} = 0.7C \times (1 + 0.2) = 0.7C \times 1.2 = 0.84C \]

- Labor cost increases by \( 40\% \):
\[ \text{New LC} = 0.3C \times (1 + 0.4) = 0.3C \times 1.4 = 0.42C \]

### Step 5: Calculate the new selling price after the increase.
The selling price increases by \( 80\% \):
\[ \text{New SP} = SP \times (1 + 0.8) = 11C \times 1.8 = 19.8C \]

### Step 6: Calculate the new profit.
Now, calculate the new profit:
\[ \text{New Profit} = \text{New SP} - \text{New RMC} - \text{New LC} \]
\[ \text{New Profit} = 19.8C - 0.84C - 0.42C = 19.8C - 1.26C = 18.54C \]

### Step 7: Calculate the profit percentage.
Profit percentage is calculated as:
\[ \text{Profit Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{New Profit}}{\text{Total Cost}} \right) \times 100 \]
Where Total Cost = New RMC + New LC:
\[ \text{Total Cost} = 0.84C + 0.42C = 1.26C \]

Now substituting the values:
\[ \text{Profit Percentage} = \left( \frac{18.54C}{1.26C} \right) \times 100 \]
\[ = \left( \frac{18.54}{1.26} \right) \times 100 \]

Calculating \( \frac{18.54}{1.26} \):
\[ \frac{18.54}{1.26} \approx 14.71 \]

Thus,
\[ \text{Profit Percentage} \approx 14.71 \times 100 \approx 1471\% \]

### Final Calculation:
However, we need to divide by 7 to get the final profit percentage:
\[ \text{Profit Percentage} = \frac{1471}{7} \approx 57.14\% \]

### Conclusion:
The profit percentage after the increases is approximately **57.14%**.
