c. 16.66% d. 25%
cost price(x)=0.6 times selling price
cost price of 4 article=4x
selling price of 3 article=(3x/0.6)
profit=((3x/0.6)-4x)/4x=(3x-2.4x)/2.4x=25% pr0fit

Answer is 10%
min common between 80% - 75% : 55%
min common between 70% - 55% : 25%
min common between 85% - 25% : 10%
or simlpy
80 + 75 + 70 + 85 = 310
310 - 300 = 10%
loooking at the options it is very clear that the ans should be A i.e. 12 %
the next higher percentage will give you around 14.5 just after two price rises
hence you infer
the ans
Q3. Ajit invested a certain amount of money in affixed deposit scheme which pays an interest of r% p.a. with the interest being compounded annually. If the interest credited for the fourth and the sixth years is Rs. 12000 and Rs. 14520 respectively, what is the amount invested by Ajit?
a. Rs. 90157 b. Rs. 88157
c. Rs. 92157 d. Rs. 93157
if P is the amount and r is the interest rate(%)
sixth year=14250=p(1+(r/100))^6-p(1+(r+100)^5).............(1)
fourth year=14250=p(1+(r/100))^4-p(1+(r+100)^3).............(2)
dividing 1 by 2 equation
{((1+r/100)^6)-(1+r/100)^5))}/{((1+r/100)^6)-(1+r/100)^5))}=1.21
equation became like this
(1+r/100)^3-(1+r/100)^2-1.21(1+r/100)+1.21=0
(1+r/100)=x
x^3-x^2-1.21x+1.21=0
so x=1.1 means r=10
now put r =10 in eq(1) find the value of p which is =90157

By s ques,In total 4 articles are given at SP of 3 articles.
so CP of 4 articles=60*4=240
SP of 3 articles=100*3=300
Profit%=((300-240)/240)*100
=25%
