jitendra set up a factory by investing RS2500000.during the first 2 successive years his profits were 5%, 10% respectively.if each year the profit was on the previous years capital, compute his total profit.

The question seems a bit incomplete. Is Jitendra is also investing back all of his profit into the business again or not? If yes, then we can compute his total profit like shown below. 

 

So, for the first year, P = Rs 25,00,000

profit% = 5%

Hence profit = 5% of 25,00,000 = Rs125000

 

Hence, total capital for the next year = Rs 25,00,000 + 125000 = Rs 26,25,000

Profit for second year = 10%

Hence profit = 10% of 26,25,000 = Rs 262500

 

Hence, total profit = Rs1,25,000 + Rs 2,62,500  = Rs387500
