Question

33. A milkman sold two of his buffaloes for Rs.20,000 each. On one he made again of
and on the other a loss of 10% Find his overall gain or loss.​

Answer 1

Sp of buffalo1 = Rs 20,000

Gain =5%

So, Cost price of buffalo1 = $\frac{100}{105} \times 20000$= Rs. 19047.62

SP of buffalo 2 = Rs 20,000

Loss =10%

Cost price of buffalo 2 = $\frac{100}{90} \times 20000$= Rs 22,222.22

Total Cost price = Rs 41269.84

Total selling price = Rs 40,000

Loss = Rs 1269.84

☞ANSWER

sᴘ ᴏғ ʙᴜғғᴀʟᴏ1 = ʀs 20,000

ɢᴀɪɴ =5%

sᴏ, ᴄᴏsᴛ ᴘʀɪᴄᴇ ᴏғ ʙᴜғғᴀʟᴏ1 $= \frac{100}{105} \times{20000}$ = ʀs. 19047.62

sᴘ ᴏғ ʙᴜғғᴀʟᴏ 2 = ʀs 20,000

ʟᴏss =10%

ᴄᴏsᴛ ᴘʀɪᴄᴇ ᴏғ ʙᴜғғᴀʟᴏ 2 = $\frac{100}{90} ×20000$= ʀs 22,222.22
