Answer 2

Answer:

Rs 2000 loss.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the trader bough two articles for 40000 each hence the cost price of the article will be 40000. from the question we get that the first article was sold for a profit of 5% which will be 5/100*40000 =2000 so the selling price will be 40000+2000=42000.

Again, for the second article the loss is 10% so the loss will be 10/100*40000 which will be 4000. Hence, the selling price will be 44000. So, in total he has suffered a loss of 44000-42000=2000 Rs.
