Answer 1

Answer:

(a)

Profit gained by 1 bag of white cement = Rs 8

Loss of 1 bag of grey cement = Rs 5

(i) Profit from selling 3000 white cement bags = Rs 3000\times8\ =\ 240003000×8 = 24000

(ii) Loss from selling 5000 grey cement bags = Rs 5000\times5=\ 250005000×5= 25000

since 24000<2500024000<25000

profit\ <\ loss\profit < loss  

Therefore, his total loss on selling the grey cement bags = loss\ -\ profit\loss − profit  

25000-24000\ =\ 100025000−24000 = 1000

Thus, company has lost of Rs 1000 on selling the grey cement bags.
