Question

.A person had no profit no loss when he sold two
items for Rs. 4000 per each. If he sold one item
at 25% profit, then for how much loss did he sell
the second item?
(1) 25%
(2) 30%
143162%
(5) None of these
​

Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

As mentioned in the question that he had no profit and no loss that means profit =loss

(If profit> loss then overall profit%= p-l/2

If profit <loss then l-p/2 will be the overall loss percentage) the above statement in brackets is something extra about the concept.

Otherwise answer is 25% loss

Answer 2

Answer:

the sum of all is 8000

then 4000x0.25=1000.00

then 4000+1000=5000

therefore 8000-5000=3000

the price is 4000

therefore there is a loss of 1000

1000 upon 4000 x100=25%
