What was the per cent profit /loss earned incurred by selling an article for ₹ 24000? I. The ratio of the selling price to the cost price of the article is 5 : 3. II. The difference between the cost price and the selling price is ₹ 9600.

Correct Answer: If the data in Statement I alone are suffcient to answer the question while the data in Statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question

Explanation:

Selling price of an article = ₹ 24000
From Statement I.
Cost price = 3/5 x 24000 = ₹ 14400
∴ Profit % = [(24000 - 14400)/14400] x 100
= 66.66%
From Statement II,
it is not clear that cost price is more than selling price or vice-versa.
