Answer 1

Answer:

A) 4%

is right answer your questions

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

SP of first article = Rs.1000

Profit = 20%

CP = SP x 100100+P% = Rs. 25003

SP of Second Article = Rs.1000

Loss = 20%

CP = SP x 100100−L% = Rs. 1250

So, Total SP = Rs.2000; Total CP = Rs.6250/3

As the CP is more than SP, he makes a loss.

Loss = CP - SP = (6250/3) - 2000 = Rs.(250/3)

So, Loss Percent = Lossx100/CP = 4%
