CUET UG 2025 — General Test Arithmetic

Total fabric purchased: 400 metres at Rs. 60 per metre

Total Cost Price $= 400 \times 60$=400×60

$$= \text{Rs. } 24,000$$=Rs. 24,000

---

Target profit on the whole transaction: 12%

Target Selling Price $= 24,000 \times 1.12$=24,000×1.12

$$= \text{Rs. } 26,880$$=Rs. 26,880

---

First half sold: 50% of 400 m $= 200$=200 m

Cost Price of 200 m $= 200 \times 60$=200×60

$$= \text{Rs. } 12,000$$=Rs. 12,000

Profit on first half: 4%

Selling Price of first half $= 12,000 \times 1.04$=12,000×1.04

$$= \text{Rs. } 12,480$$=Rs. 12,480

---

Remaining fabric: 200 m

Cost Price of remaining 200 m $= 200 \times 60$=200×60

$$= \text{Rs. } 12,000$$=Rs. 12,000

Total money needed $= \text{Rs. } 26,880$=Rs. 26,880

Money already collected $= \text{Rs. } 12,480$=Rs. 12,480

Required Selling Price for remaining fabric $= 26,880 - 12,480$=26,880−12,480

$$= \text{Rs. } 14,400$$=Rs. 14,400

---

Profit on remaining fabric $= 14,400 - 12,000$=14,400−12,000

$$= \text{Rs. } 2,400$$=Rs. 2,400

Profit percentage $= \dfrac{2,400}{12,000} \times 100$=12,0002,400​×100

$$= 20\%$$=20%

Therefore, the remaining fabric should be sold at 20% profit.
