Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs. 380

Calculation:

The profit earned by shopkeeper T in December 2009 is

⇒ 5.31 × 100 = Rs. 5310

The profit earned by shopkeeper T in January 2010 is

⇒ 5690 - 5310 = Rs. 380

∴ The difference in profit earned by shopkeeper T in January 2010 and December 2009 is Rs. 380.
