Q) A fruit merchant has a stock 100 mangoes in which 'N' number of mangoes are superior variety and rest are of inferior variety. The merchant sells superior variety mangoes at the premium of '2N%' and the inferior variety of mangoes at a discount of '2N%'. Find the maximum loss% the merchant had to bear after selling all the mangoes and the cost price is same for each mangoes.
Answer :- ⬇
profit on selling 1kg mangoes = 4Rs.
loss on selling 1kg graphs = 1Rs.
Neither loss nor profit of selling 1kg strawberry.
Profit on selling 20 kg mangoes = 20 * 4 = 80Rs.
loss on selling 10 kg graphs = 10 * 1 = 10Rs.
strawberry gives him no profit no loss .
here,
profit > loss
therefore ,
profit = 80Rs. , loss = 10Rs.
therefore ,
profit of= 80Rs. - 10Rs.
= 70Rs.
