Correct Answer: TK 810
Explanation:
Let, the profit made by selling a pencil = x
The profit made by selling a pen =32
x x =3×2
Total pen sells in a month = 12 x 30 = 360
and total pencil sells in a month = 16 x 30 = 480
The profit made by selling pencils in a month = (480 x x) = 480x
And the profit made by selling pens in a month = (360 x3×2
) = 540x480x = 720
x = 32
The profit made by selling pens in a month = (540 x 32
) = Tk. 810
