    C ₹16080 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹17040 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E ₹20000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The cost price of 1200 units = 1200 * 25 = ₹30000. Initially, the selling price of each unit = ₹35. Total revenue from the first 40% of units = 1200 * 0.40 * 35 = 480 * 35 = ₹16800. The selling price of remaining 60% units increases by 20%. New selling price = ₹35 * 1.20 = ₹42. Revenue from the remaining 60% of units = 1200 * 0.60 * 42 = 720 * 42 = ₹30240. Total revenue = ₹16800 + ₹30240 = ₹47040. Profit = Total revenue - Cost price = ₹47040 - ₹30000 = ₹17040. Answer: d) ₹17040
