A shopkeeper buys 100 pens at Rs. 10 each and sells 80 pens at Rs. 12 each and the remaining at Rs. 8 each. What is his profit or loss percentage?
A. No profit no loss
B. Profit 4%
C. Loss 4%
D. Profit 2%
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total CP = 100*10 = 1000. SP = 80*12 + 20*8 = 960 + 160 = 1120. Profit = 120, profit% = 12%? Wait 120/1000*100=12%, not in options. Let's check: actually 80*12=960, 20*8=160, total SP=1120, CP=1000, profit=120, profit%=12%. But option A says 4%. That's wrong. Let's recalc: maybe he sells 80 at Rs.12 each (960) and remaining 20 at Rs.8 each (160) total 1120, profit 120, 12%. Not in options. So this question is flawed. Delete and regenerate.
