Answer:

Lets say the price of the book is x.

A sale of 20% loss would mean 80% of the marked price= 80/100x=0.8x

if the book would be sold for Rs. 12 more (0.8x+12) profit will be 30%, that means 130% of marked price= 130/100x= 1.3x

Therefore 0.8x+12 = 1.3x

subtract 0.8x from both sides ,

1.3x-0.8x= 12

0.5x=12

x =12/0.5

x= 24

Therefore the price of the book was Rs.24

Price at 20% loss= 0.8x= 0.8(24) = Rs.19.2

if the book is sold for 4.8 more= 19.2 + 4.8 = Rs.24 (that means there would be no profit or loss)

The profit would be zero since its sold at the same price it was bought.
