Question

Sort the profit made in each sale (CP and SP are given respectively) in increasing order from top to bottom.

• A. ₹100 and ₹300
• B. ₹100 and ₹150
• C. ₹75 and ₹100
• D. ₹110 and ₹180

Answer 1

Profit = Selling Price (SP) - Cost Price (CP)

1) CP = ₹100, SP = ₹300
$\therefore$ Profit = 300 - 100 = ₹200

2) CP = ₹100, SP = ₹150
$\therefore$ Profit = 150 - 100 = ₹50

3) CP = ₹75, SP = ₹100
$\therefore$ Profit = 100 - 75 = ₹25

4) CP = ₹110, SP = ₹180
$\therefore$ Profit = 180 - 110 = ₹70

So, from the least profitable to the most profitable sale, the order will be
₹25 < ₹50 < ₹70 < ₹200
