Solution

The correct option is A 200
Suppose, he must produce x items
Then, C.P. $= R s . (40 x + 3000)$
$S . P . = R s . 60 x$
$∴ 60 x - (40 x + 3000) = 1000$
$\Rightarrow 20 x = 4000 \Rightarrow x = 200$

The correct option is A 200Suppose, he must produce x itemsThen, C.P. =Rs.(40x+3000) S.P.=Rs.60x∴60x−(40x+3000)=1000⇒20x=4000⇒x=200

The correct option is A 200
Suppose, he must produce x items
Then, C.P. $= R s . (40 x + 3000)$
$S . P . = R s . 60 x$
$∴ 60 x - (40 x + 3000) = 1000$
$\Rightarrow 20 x = 4000 \Rightarrow x = 200$
