    A manufacturer produces an item at a cost of Rs. 1200

    per unit. Fixed costs are Rs. 60000, and he sells the item at Rs. 2000 per unit. How many units must he sell to achieve a profit of Rs. 40000?
    A 40 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 125 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Profit = Selling price - (Cost price + Fixed cost). Let the number of units sold be x. Profit = 2000x - (1200x + 60000). Given, profit = Rs. 40000: 2000x - 1200x - 60000 = 40000. 800x = 100000. x = 100000 ÷ 800 = 125. Correct answer: d
