Question

9. A farmer sold two oxen for 18000 each ox.
On one ox he gain 20% and on the other he lost
20%. Find his total loss or gain.​

Answer 1

s.p of first bullock=Rs 18000

gain=20%

c. p=100/100+20 x18000=15000

S. p of second= 18000

loss,=20%

c. p=100/100-20x18000=22500

total S. p=18000x2=36000

total c. p=15000+22500=37500

loss=37500-36000=1500

loss%=1500/37500x100=4%
