Two third of consignment was sold at a profit of $5 \%$ and the remainder at a loss of $2 \%$. If the total profit was $Rs.\, 400$ , the value of the consignment was in $Rs.$?

A

$12000$

B

$14000$

C

$15000$

D

Cannot be determined

Solution

Let the total value be $Rs\,\, x$

then value of $\frac{2}{3} r d=R s . \frac{2 x}{3}$

value of $\frac{1}{3} rd = Rs \cdot \frac{ x }{3}$

According to question

$\frac{2}{3} x\left(\frac{5}{100}\right)-\frac{1}{3} \times\left(\frac{2}{100}\right)=400$

$\frac{x}{30}-\frac{x}{150}=400 \Rightarrow \frac{5 x-x}{150}=400$

$\Rightarrow x=$ $Rs. 15000$
