Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: ₹ 4655
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
The phrase “includes a profit of 14%” is commonly interpreted in such MCQs as a 14% margin computed per unit on the tagged piece price basis. With fixed units per day over fixed days, multiply per-unit profit by total units.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Profit per unit = 14% of 250 = 0.14 * 250. Total profit = profit per unit * total units.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
If treated as 14% on CP instead, the result would be ≈ ₹ 4083.33, which does not match any offered correct option; hence we adopt the per-piece interpretation consistent with choices.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
₹ 4665, ₹ 4565, and ₹ 4545 are close distractors from small arithmetic slips. ₹ 4085 approximates an alternative assumption but is not an option aligned with the stated framing.
Common Pitfalls:
Confusing whether the percentage applies to CP or SP. Always match the interpretation to the question’s phrasing and provided options.
Final Answer:
₹ 4655
