Question

4. If eggs are bought 12 for 10 and sold at 10 for 12. What is the profit or loss %?
(a) Profit 20%
(b) Loss 20%
(c) Profit 44%
(d) Profit 24%​

Answer 1

Profit of 44%

Step-by-step explanation:

CP of 12 eggs = ₹10

CP of 1 egg = ₹10/12

SP of 10 eggs = ₹12

SP of 1 egg = ₹12/10

Since the SP > CP Therefore it is a Profit.

Total profit = SP - CP = 12/10 - 10/12 = ₹ 11/30

Profit percentage = 100×profit/CP

= (100 × 11/30)/10/12

= 44%

Therefore, there is a Profit of 44%

Answer 2

Given :-

• Total cost price of 12 egg = 10
• Total cost price for 10egg = 12

Solution :-

Here the no. of egg purchased and sale is not same therefore first we will equal the amount egg purchase and sale.

L.C.M of(12,10) = 60

Since 60 is the least common multiple of 12,10 therefore we would make egg purchased and and sold equal by making them 60.

Cp of 12egg = 10 ...(1)

multiply above eqn by 5

60 egg = 50

Similarly for Sp multiplying by 6

60egg = 72

Now, the no. of egg purchased and sold is same therefore

CP = 50

Sp = 72

Profit% = (72-50/50)×100 = 44%

Hence :-

The required answer is 44% (Option C).
