nope (Question:922350.0)

it is 56.25 %.

why?

cause that 20% dirt is a dirt. it has no commodity value, and he can replace it in commodity only by replacing the same amount of real commodity. so from 1000 toffees, it became 800 on first account, then he replaced 20% of toffee with dirt inside wrapper, so 800-160=640.

that's where you have destroyed many concepts and lives. awfully ill informed person at back end. probably .

Question:

 A dishonest dealer claims to sell a product at its cost price. He uses a counterfeit weight which is 20% less than the real weight. Further greed overtook him and he added 20% impurities to the product. Find the net profit percentage of the dealer?

Options:
A)

 44% 

B)

 40%

C)

 50%

D)

 56.25%

Solution:

Let’s assume he buy 1000 toffees with CP of Rs. 1000 

After 20% less weight means – 800 toffees will be there

In that 800 toffees, 20% toffees are adulterated.

So, he is selling 960 toffees.

In corrupt weighing scaler 800 toffees at Rs.1000

Similarly, 960 toffees at Rs. (1000*960)/800 = Rs.1200

He took 1200 rupees for 960 toffees out of which 800 were genuine only

Actual cost of these 800 is Rs. 800

Profit = 1200-800=400

Profit % = 50%
