A bookstore sells half the books at 20% profit and the rest at 10% loss. Overall, he gains ₹200 on a batch of books worth ₹4000. What is the total selling price?

  1. ₹4,150

  2. ₹4,200

  3. ₹4,250

  4. ₹4,300

Answer: B

Solution

Solution: Total cost price = ₹4,000 and overall gain = ₹200. Therefore, total selling price \(=4000+200\) = ₹4,200. Trick: Selling price = cost price + profit. Use the overall gain directly.
