Question

A milk man sold two of his buffaloes for rs 20000 each on one he made gain of 5 percent and on the other a loss of 10 percent find overall gain or loss

Answer 1

Gain = 5/100*20000+ =1000 rs
Loss = 10/100*20000 = 2000 rs
Total loss =2000-1000=1000rs

Answer 2

Profit on the first buffalo = x/20000 x 100=1000
                                      =1000
Loss = x/20000 x 100=10
       = 2000
therefore he made a loss of 1000rs
