Solution

Let's break down the transactions:

  1. Greg buys cattle for Rs.15 and sells it for Rs.20. So, he makes a profit of Rs.20 - Rs.15 = Rs.5 in the first year.

  2. After one year, he buys the same cattle for Rs.30 and sells it for Rs.40. So, he makes a profit of Rs.40 - Rs.30 = Rs.10 in the second year.

So, the total profit Greg makes is Rs.5 (first year) + Rs.10 (second year) = Rs.15.

The total amount Greg invested is Rs.15 (first purchase) + Rs.30 (second purchase) = Rs.45.

The profit percentage is calculated as (Profit / Total Investment) * 100.

So, the overall profit percentage for Greg in this transaction is (Rs.15 / Rs.45) * 100 = 33.33%.
