Sonali buys 2 Pen Drives A and B, and their cost price is in the ratio of 5:6 respectively. If she sells them at a 10% profit each, she earns a total profit of ₹22. What will be her total profit, if she sells Pen Drive A at a 20% loss and Pen Drive B at a 30% profit?
✅ Correct Option: 1
Let cost price of A = $5x$ Cost price of B = $6x$ When sold at 10% profit each: Profit on A = $0.5x$ Profit on B = $0.6x$ Total profit = $1.1x = ₹22$ Therefore $x = ₹20$ So, Cost price of A = $5 × 20 = ₹100$ Cost price of B = $6 × 20 = ₹120$ When sold at new rates: Loss on A (20%) = $-₹20$ Profit on B (30%) = $₹36$ Total profit = $-₹20 + ₹36 = ₹16$ Therefore, her new total profit is ₹16.
