The correct Answer is:
To find the profit percentage for Mr. Y after selling the flat, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Total Cost Price (CP) The total cost price includes the purchase price of the flat and the renovation cost. - **Purchase Price of the Flat**: ₹9,25,000 - **Renovation Cost**: ₹35,000 **Total Cost Price (CP) = Purchase Price + Renovation Cost** \[ CP = 9,25,000 + 35,000 = 9,60,000 \] ### Step 2: Determine the Selling Price (SP) The selling price of the flat is given in the question. - **Selling Price (SP)**: ₹10,80,000 ### Step 3: Calculate the Profit Profit is calculated by subtracting the total cost price from the selling price. **Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price** \[ \text{Profit} = 10,80,000 - 9,60,000 = 1,20,000 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Profit Percentage Profit percentage is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Profit Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost Price}} \right) \times 100 \] Substituting the values we have: \[ \text{Profit Percentage} = \left( \frac{1,20,000}{9,60,000} \right) \times 100 \] Calculating the fraction: \[ \text{Profit Percentage} = \left( \frac{1,20,000}{9,60,000} \right) = \frac{1}{8} \] Now, converting to percentage: \[ \text{Profit Percentage} = \frac{1}{8} \times 100 = 12.5\% \] ### Final Answer Mr. Y's profit percentage is **12.5%**. ---
