26(2/3)%
Steps/Work
Solution: To get 20 % profit on whole,
1000(CP)==20%(gain)==>1200(SP).
Total Profit = 1200 - 1000 = Rs. 200.
400 ==10%(gain)==>440.
He gets Rs. 40 profit on 400 hundred. Rest Profit = 200 - 40 = 160.
Then he must get Rs. 160 as profit on Rs. 600;
Hence, % profit = 160*100/600 = 26.66%.
Answer: Option A
1000(CP)==20%(gain)==>1200(SP).
Total Profit = 1200 - 1000 = Rs. 200.
400 ==10%(gain)==>440.
He gets Rs. 40 profit on 400 hundred. Rest Profit = 200 - 40 = 160.
Then he must get Rs. 160 as profit on Rs. 600;
Hence, % profit = 160*100/600 = 26.66%.
