Ahmed buys a plot of land for Rs. 96000. He sell 2/5 of it at a loss of 6%. At what gain percent should he sell the remaining part of the plot to gain 10% on the whole?

Cost price of the land = Rs. 96000



= Rs. 38400


Loss on the sale of 2/5th part of land = 6 %




= 94 × 384


= 36096


A man wants total gain = 10 %


Selling price of the whole land


= 110 × 960


Selling price of the whole land = Rs. 105600


Selling price of the remaining part of the land i.e. 3/5th part


= 105600 – 36096


= Rs. 69504


Cost price of the remaining part of land


= Rs. 57600


Gain percentage of the remaining sold part of land
