A shopkeeper sells 20% of his stock at 25% profit ans sells the remaining at a loss of 5%. He incurred an overall profit of Rs. 400. Find the total worth of the stock? Choose the correct option: A) 25500 B) 25000 C) 40500 D) 20000 E) 40000
Let the total worth of the stock be Rs. x.   The SP of 20% of the stock = 1/5 * x * 5/4 = 5x/20   The SP of 80% of the stock = 4/5 * x * 0.95 = 152x/200   Total SP = 50x/200 + 152x/200 = 202x/200   Overall profit = 152x/200 - x = 2x/200   x/50 = 400 =&gt; x = 40000   Answer:40000
