the correct answer is 50 rupees I guess

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

buy 100 pens at 12.50₹ each

than,

total cost of 100 pens = 100×12.50=1250₹

and sells 40 pens at 15₹ each

than,

total cost of sells 40 pens= 40 ×15=600₹

remaining 60 pens at rate 10 ₹ each

then,

total cost of remaining 60 pens= 60×10=600₹

total selling cost= 600+600=1200₹

loss = 1250 -1200 =50 ₹ ans
