Question

a man buys lemons at 6 for ₹10 and sells all the lemones at 25% loss . find at what rate did he sell lemons

Answer 1

The man's cp on 1 lemon=10/6

loss=25%

ATP,

loss/cp*100=25%

=loss/10/6*100=25

=6loss*10=25

=loss=25/60=5/12per lemon

So cp-loss=sp.

=sp=10/6-5/12

=15/12per lemon

As he sells 6 lemons,total Sp on 6 lemons=6*5/12

=5/2=2.5 in Rs
