Question

Ashwin bought 10 televisions at ₹14000 each and spent ₹5000 on transport. For how much should he sell each television, so he makes a total profit of ₹30000?

• A. ₹17000
• B. ₹17500
• C. ₹18000
• D. ₹18500

Answer 1

The correct option is B ₹17500

Cost Price of One Television = Cost of buying One Television + Transportation Expense of One Television ​
​
Cost of buyig one Television = ₹14000
​
Transportation Expense per Television
$=\frac{₹5000}{10}=₹500$
​
Cost Price of one Television = ₹14000 + ₹500 = ₹ 14500​
​
Total profit = ₹ 30,000​
​
Profit per television $=\frac{₹30,000}{10}=₹3000$

Selling Price = Profit + Cost Price = ₹3000 + ₹14500 = ₹17500​
