    A trader buys two types of smartphones at different

    prices: 10 smartphones at ₹25,000 each and 5 smartphones at ₹30,000 each. If the trader sells all the smartphones at a uniform price of ₹27,000 each, what is the overall percentage profit or loss?
    A 8% profit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1.25% profit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15% loss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 10% loss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Cost price of 10 smartphones = 10 * 25,000 = ₹250,000 Cost price of 5 smartphones = 5 * 30,000 = ₹150,000 Total Cost Price = 250,000 + 150,000 = ₹400,000 Selling Price for 15 smartphones = 15 * 27,000 = ₹405,000 Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price = 405,000 - 400,000 = ₹5,000 Percentage Profit = (5,000 / 400,000) * 100 = 1.25%
