If books bought at prices ranging from Rs. 200 to Rs. 350 are sold at prices ranging from Rs. 300 to Rs. 425, what is the greatest possible profit that might be made in selling eight books ?


A) Rs. 400

B) Rs. 600

C) Rs.800

D) 1800

E) None of these

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Least C.P = Rs. $(200\times 8)$ = Rs. $1600$.

Greatest S.P = Rs. $(425\times 8)$ = Rs. $3400$.

Required profit = Rs. $(3400-1600)$

= Rs. 1800
