### Solution(By Apex Team)

$\begin{array}{l}\text{CP}=360000\\ \text{To gain 10% on whole land,}\\ \text{SP}=360000+10\%\text{ of }360000\\ \quad=\text{ Rs. }396000\\ \frac{1}{3}\ \text{of the land sold on 20% loss.}\\ \text{SP}\ \text{of }\frac{1}{3}\text{land}\\ =\frac{360000}{3}-20\%\ \text{of}\ \frac{360000}{3}\\ =\text{Rs.}\ 96000\\ \text{SP of }\frac{2}{5}\text{of the land}\\ =360000\times\frac{2}{5}+25\%\ \text{of}\ 360000\times\frac{2}{5}\\ =\text{Rs.}\ 180000\\ \text{Thus,}\\ \text{SP of the remaining land}\\ =396000-96000-180000\\ =\text{Rs.}\ 120000\end{array}$
