Correct Answer: ans: The price of per meter cloth is Tk. 40
Explanation:
Let, the price of per meter cloth is Tk. x
The price of 20 meter cloth= Tk.20x
The price of 30 meter cloth=Tk.30x
So, the price of=(65 – 20 — 30)meter=15 meter cloth=Tk.15x
At 15% profit,Tk. 100 Provides profit = Tk.15
Tk.20x Provides profit = $\frac{15x20x}{100}$
At 19% profit,Tk. 100 Provides profit = TR. 19Tk.
30x Provides profit = $\frac{19x30x}{100}$
At 25% profit,Tk. 100 Provides profit = Tk.25Tk.
15x Provides profit = $\frac{25x15x}{100}$
According to question, $\frac{15x20x}{100}$ +$\frac{19x30x}{100}$ + $\frac{25x15x}{100}$ = 498
=>249x=9960
x=40
