RAM NARAYAN PATRO  (10 years ago)

statement 2 & 3 is sufficient because ... let stan purchased X number of pencils .. so (20x)+(30x)=50x is the cost price
And selling price is 28*(2x)=56x..
now we can calaulate profit percentage by ...(6x/50x)*100
so(b)...i think 1 & 3 is not giving the profit is there or not... because 1 only explains the total number of pencil not how much from both types

Ans:c
Suppose Stan buys a dozen of pencil of each variety
So,Cost price,20a+30a=50a
Selling Price 28*2a=56a
total profit percentage is ((56a-50a)/50a)*100=12%
The percentage is same for 10 dozen also..
but if you want to calculate percentage of profit Ans will be Option:d
but if you want to calculate amount of profit Ans will be Option:c
