Question

Arjun sold two T.V for ₹ 20,000 each. On one he made a gain of 5% and on the other a
loss of 10% . Find his overall gain or loss.​

Answer 1

Now for 20% profit means article of 20 is sold at 24, and 20% loss means article of 30 sold at 24. So total CP is 50 and total SP will be 48. So there is loss of 4%.

In question given above total SP is 4800 but I have taken 48. Hence CP as per question should be 5000 (100 times of what I have initially taken). So total loss is 4% of 5000 that is 200.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of each tv = 20,000

arjun made a gain of 5% while selling one tv.

this means if c.p (cost price ) is rs 100, then s.p (selling price) is rs150

C.p of one tv = 20000×100/105= 19,047.62

Also the second tv was sold at a loss of 10%.

This mean if c.p is rs100 , then s.p is rs 90

:.C.p of other Tv =20000×100/90=22222.22

Total c.p = Rs 19047.62+ Rs22222.22=rs 41269.84

total s.p=Rs 20000 + Rs 20000= Rs 40,000

Loss = Rs 41269.84 - Rs 40,000 = Rs1269.8

Ans : the loss is Rs 1,269.8 .
