The manufacturer of a certain item can sell all he can produce at the selling price of Rs. 60 each. If costs him Rs. 40 in materials and labour to produce each item and he has overhead expenses of Rs. 3000 per week in order to operate the plant. The number of units he should produce and sell in order to make a profit of at least Rs. 1000 per week, is :

a. 200
b. 250
c. 300
d. 400

• items he produces =x items ,C.P=rs.(40x+3000) S.P=60x
  gain in rs=sp-cp
  1000=60x-(40x+3000) therefore x=200.

• a. 200
  If items sold per week=n
  To get profit of Rs. 1000/week, (40n+3000)+1000=60n, n=200

• let x be total items/week,
  SP will be 60x,
  CP will be [40x+4000(extra 1000 for profit )]
  so,
  40x+4000=60x
  20x=4000
  x=200.

• profit is =6o-4o=2o
  x is no. of units i.e. production cost is 2o*x
  2ox-3ooo=1ooo
  x=2oo

• Assume the CP of A is 100 then
  for B 120 will be CP and SP for A also
  sly for C 150 will be CP and it will also be SP for B ,
  
  i.e;:
  
  100--->120--->150
  A B C (equal to 225)
  
  Now CP of C=225
  so,
  150/100 * x = 225
