Question: There is a temple on the top of the hill of height
1000mtrs.Coconuts at the base of the hill are sold at
5/- each and at the top of the hill at 50/- each. One
intelligent businessman thought of buying coconuts at
the base and selling them at the top. For that he
appointed 2 people who can carry only 1000 coconuts at
a time and takes 1 coconut for every mtr of walk.
Can he succeed in his plan. If yes how much profit he
earns for a rupee of investment? (7m neg-2)

2000-(2*500)=1000nuts at the middle
1000-(1*500)=500 ,, ,, ,, end of the road
so sell price=500*50=25000
cost price=2000*5=10000
profit=15000
YES HE WILL HAVE PROFIT IN 1Rs INVESTMENT=15000/10000=Rs1.5 |
