    Question

    A sold a car to B at 8% profit, who later sold it back

    to A at 6% loss. If initially A purchased the car for Rs. 250000, then find the total profit earned by A in the transaction.
    A Rs. 16000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 15200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 17200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 16200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Selling price of car when A sold it = 250000 X 1.08 = Rs. 270000 Selling price of the car when B sold it = 270000 X 0.94 = Rs. 253800 So, total profit earned by A = (270000 - 250000) - (253800 - 250000) = Rs. 16200
