Answer 1

The correct option is B i) 2000

ii) 2100
iii) 5%
Total Cost Price = 620+575+805 = 2000 rupees
Total Selling Price = 780+437+883 = 2100 rupees
Net Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price = 2100 - 2000 = 100 rupees
Profit % = $\frac{NetProfit}{C.P}\times 100$ = $\frac{100}{2000}\times 100=5$
hence , answers are as follows :
i) 2000
ii) 2100
iii) 5%
