He got 20% loss by one fan, which is given by 20/100*1000= 200
Therefore he got loss of 200 by one fan
To earn 200 from other four fans
200/4=50
So remaining 4fans has to sold at the price of 1050

sprao534: suppose he sold 4 fans at the rate of 1050,he can get 4200+for defective 800.total he can get 5000.it is equivalent to cost price. where is the profit?

$CP of all is 5000 one sold for 800$

$all for 4x then 20%profit is 6000$

$already sold of800then left is 4200$

$to get by selling 4fabs each one is 1050/-$

$that means 1050rupees for each fan$
