SSC CGL – Combined Graduate Level Examination · Question 61
A company produced 1500 units at a total cost of ₹1,20,000. It donated 300 units to an NGO. For the rest, it announced a 15% discount on the market price of ₹110 per unit. It also offered 3 units free for every 10 units purchased. If all 1500 units were distributed, what is the overall gain or loss percentage?
Show answer & explanation
Answer: (C) 28.08% loss
Explanation
The 1200 units sold at ₹93.5 (15% off ₹110) with 3 free per 10 bought means only 10/13 are paid: about 923.08 units → ₹86,308 revenue. Loss = 33,692/1,20,000 ≈ 28.08%.
