Answer 1

Asian he should be loss and loss percent will be in 189 up

Answer 2

20 Crates = 20×20

=400eggs

Broken eggs = 400-25

= 375

S.P of 375 eggs = 1.20×375

=₹450

Hence it will have profit as SP is greater than the CP

Now,

Profit=450-400

₹50

P%=Profit by CP × 100

P%=50 by 400 × 100

P%= 25 by 2% or 12.5%
