उत्तर

C.P. of note-books = Rs.600

Gain desired on the whole = 10%

∴ Total S.P. of all the note-books

`=((100+"gain"%))/100xx"C.P."=((100+10)/10)xx"Rs."600`

= Rs.`110/100xx600` = Rs.660

C.P. of `1/4` of the note-books =`1/4xx"Rs."600`

= Rs. 150

Loss on these note-books = 5%

∴ S.P. of this note-book

`=((100-"Loss"%))/100xx"C.P."=((100-5))/100xx"Rs."150`

= Rs.`95/100xx150`

= Rs. `14250/100`

= Rs. 142.50

Now, C.P. of the remaining note-books

= Rs.600 − Rs.150 = Rs.450

Required S.P. of the remaining note-books

= Rs.660 − Rs.142.50 = Rs.517.50
