Question

40) A milkman sold two of his cows for Rs.20,000 each. One he made a gain of 5% and on the other
a loss of 10% find his overall gain or loss.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Sp of cow 1 = Rs 20,000

Gain =5%

So, Cost price of cow 1 =

105

100

×20,000= Rs. 19047.62

SP of cow 2 = Rs 20,000

Loss =10%

Cost price of cow 2 =

90

100

×20,000= Rs 22,222.22

Total Cost price = Rs 41269.84

Total selling price = Rs 40,000

Loss = Rs 1269.84

Answer:

Loss of RS 1,269.83

Step-by-step explanation:

SP of 1 cow= RS.20,000

Gain%=5%

Loss%=10%

CP of 1st cow=?

we know that

CP(100+profit%/100)=SP

CP(105/100)=20,000

CP=20,000 × 100/105

=20,000×20/21

=Rs. 4,00,000/21

CP of 2nd cow=?

Again,

CP(100-loss%/100)=SP

CP(90/100)=20,000

CP=20,000×100/90

20,000×10/9

CP=Rs 2,00,000/9

Total CP = 4,00,000/21+2,00,000/9

=Rs.41269.83

Total SP=20,000+20,000=Rs.40,000

CP >SP

Overall loss=CP-SP

41,269.83-40,000

= Rs1,269.83
