step by step​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit earned on selling white cement = 3000*₹8=₹24000

Loss incurred on selling grey cement  =5000*₹5=₹25000

Total loss=₹25000-₹24000=₹1000

Answer 2

Answer:

bags of white cement = 3000

profit =₹8

profit on 3000 bags = 3000×8

=24000₹

loss on one bag of grey cement = 5₹

5000 bags = 5000× 5

= 25000₹

loss =-25000₹

profit = 24000₹

total loss = 24000 -25000

₹1000 loss

hence he will suffer a loss of ₹ 1000
