a) 20
b) 30
c)25
d)0​

Answer 1

Answer:

ANSWER

S.P. of one orange =rs.121, Loss =20/%

∴C.P.=(100−20)121×100=12×80100=485

If Gain =20%, then

S.P. = 485+20% of 485

485+10020×485=486=rs.81 per orange

i.e., the man should sell 8 oranges for a rupee.

Answer 2

Answer:

sp of 4 articles = ₹1

cp - 50%of cp = 1

  cp of 4 articles  = 1×100/50 = 2rupees

cp of one article = 2/4 = 0.5rp

cp of two articles = 1rp

if he sold 2 articles per rupee then there is no profit or loss,

So the profit percentage is 0.
