Sonali buys 2 Pen Drives A and B, and their cost price is in the ratio of 5:6 respectively. If she sells them at a 10% profit each, she earns a total profit of ₹22. What will be her total profit, if she sells Pen Drive A at a 20% loss and Pen Drive B at a 30% profit?

Correct Option: 1
Let cost price of A = 5x5x\newlineCost price of B = 6x6x
When sold at 10% profit each:\newlineProfit on A = 0.5x0.5x\newlineProfit on B = 0.6x0.6x\newlineTotal profit = 1.1x=221.1x = ₹22
Therefore x=20x = ₹20
So, Cost price of A = 5×20=1005 × 20 = ₹100\newlineCost price of B = 6×20=1206 × 20 = ₹120
When sold at new rates:\newlineLoss on A (20%) = 20-₹20\newlineProfit on B (30%) = 36₹36
Total profit = 20+36=16-₹20 + ₹36 = ₹16
Therefore, her new total profit is ₹16.
