a fruir seller buy some oranges at the rate of 4 for rs 10and an equal number more at 5 for rs 10.he sells the hole lot at 9 for rs 20.what is his gain or loss percent?

Answer 1

This question seems to be very simple.

Amount spent on buying the first 4 oranges = Rs 10.
Amount spent on buying the 2nd 5 oranges = Rs 10.
Total amount spent on buying the 9 oranges = Rs 10 + Rs 10 = Rs 20.

Total amount earned by selling the 9 oranges = Rs 20 (given).

So profit = Rs 20- Rs 20 = 0.
There is no loss or no profit.
