Answer 1

Answer:

4] Profit/Loss depends on the selling price​

Answer 2

Answer:

4] Profit/ loss depends on the selling prices

Step-by-step explanation:

Let sp of book 1 be x and sp of book be y

=> CP of book 1 = x - x/10 ( snice on book 1 he had profit of 10%)

=> CP of book 2= y + y/10 ( snice on book2 he had loss of 10%)

total profit or loss=  SP of book 1 + SP of book2 -CP of book 1 - Cp of book 2

                           = (x-y)/10

the profit and loss is thus decided by sp of books and if x>y then it is profit and if x<y then it is loss
