total bags =5000
cost for first 1000 bags = 30$ per bag.
so total cost for 1000 bags = 1000 * 30 = 30,000$

now cost per bag after first 1000 bags = 10$ per bag
so total cost for remaining 4000 bags = 40,000$

so total overall cost = 70,000$

selling price per bag = 20$
so total revenue = 1,00,000$

profit = 1,00,000 - 70,000 = 30,000

profit percentage = (30000 / 70000) * 100
(3/7) 100
42.6
so from option, ans is D= 40%
