Correct Option - 4
Detailed Solution:150/- wax; 8.5/- thread; 12.5/- coloured paper; 9/- silver powder
Profit = 40%.
Net input = 150 + 8.5 + 12.5 + 9 = 180/-
Net profit = 180 * .4 = 72/-
the candles = (180) = 90/-
At 50% profit = 45.
90 + 45 = 135/-
Let the remaining = x
Net price = (72 + 180) = 135 + x
x = 117
Profit on second = 117 – 90 = 27
= 30%
