Answer : 2. "20%"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 20% Explanation: Let the Cost of Production of the article = 100 Then, Labour Cost = 20 Raw Material = 10 Other Expenditure = 100 - 10 – 20 = 70 Selling Price of the article = 120 After increasing Labour and Raw material cost by 40% & 20% respectively, New Labour cost = 28 New Raw material cost = 12 New Cost of Production = 70 + 28 + 12 = 110 Then, New SP = 110% of 120 = 120 x 110/100 = 132 => New Gain = 132 - 110 = 22 => New Profit % = 22 x 100/110 = 20%
