Quantitative Aptitude (CHSL) Profit and loss

A purchased two articles for Rs.200 and Rs.300 respectively and sold at gains of 5% and 10% respectively. What was his overall gain percentage?

Since we have given that

Cost price of first = Rs. 200

Cost price of second = Rs. 300

Profit % = 5% and 10% resp.

So, S.p. of first would be

100+5/100x200

=105/100x200

=1.05x200

=210

S.p. of second would be

100+10/100x300

=110/100x300

=330

So, Profit = 210-200= 10

Profit = 330-300 = 30

So profit % would be

40/500x100

=8%

Hence option 1 is the correct answer.
