Number System
A shopkeeper purchased 200 bulbs for Rs. 10 each. However, 5 bulbs were fused and had to be thrown away. The remaining were sold at Rs. 12 each. What will be percentage profit?
Let the consecutive odd number be x, x + 2, x + 4 and x + 6 respectively.According to the question x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 104 = 4x + 12 = 104 = 4x = 104 - 12 = 92∴ x = 92/4 = 23∴ Required number = x + 4= 23 + 4 = 27
