Answer 1

Profit for selling each white cement bag = Rs. 9

Loss for selling each grey cement bag = Rs. 5

Bags of white cement sold by the company = 7,000

Bags of grey cement sold by the company = 6,000

Hence profit earned by the company = 7,000 × 9 = Rs.63,000

Loss incurred by the company = 6,000 × 5 = Rs. 30,000

63,000 is greater than 30,000,

Hence there is a gain of Rs. 33,000 for the company.

Hope this helps!
