Given the difference between both the profit 6
130% = 24500 + 4500 ×
is 588 5

7 130% = 29900
28% =
25 100% = 2300

CP : SP 110% = Rs.25300 (SP of T.V)

On S.P , A  18 × 32 : 25 × 32 100. (a)
On C.P ,B  25 × 25 : 32 × 25 A B C
Profit  32 × 7 – 25 × 7 7 5

Let, the CP = 100  16.8 18.6

ATQ, ATQ,
2B + C = 50
Quantity  25 30 9 36 which is not more than sum of new (A + B + C)
Profit / Loss%  40% –10% 0% x %  Statement I incorrect
Now,
Total profit = 15% A + 2B = 54
1000 – 300 + 0 + 36x = 1500 A + B = 36
ATQ,
700 + 36x = 1500
54 – 36 1
  = 50%
