Answer 1

hiiiii here is your answer it is a gain because of this 235 ₹ gain

Answer 2

cost price of pencil=30+25

                          =55

cost price of pens=90

total cost price=55+90

                    =145

selling price ofpencils=20

selling price of pens=70

total selling price=20+70

                       =90

loss=cp>sp

145>90

=loss

145-90

=55

therefore there is a loss of 55 rupees
