Given:

Three-fourth of a consignment was sold at a profit of 8% and the rest at a loss of 4%.

Overall profit of Rs. 600.

Calculations:

Let total consignment be 4 units.

So, total profit

⇒ (3 × 8% - 1 × 4%)/4

⇒ 20%/4

⇒ 5%

According to question,

5% of Total = 600

So, 100% = Rs.12000

Hence, The Required value is Rs.12,000.
