    Solution

    ATQ, Cost Price of two pens and a Geometry box┬а = 900 ├Ч 2 + 300┬а = 1800 + 300┬а = Rs.2100 Profit to be earned = 12% So, selling price = 1.12 ├Ч 2100 = Rs. 2352 Thus, selling price of one pen = 2352/2 = Rs. 1176 Therefore, required percentage increase over cost price┬а = {(1176 тАУ 900)/900} ├Ч 100┬а = 30.67%
