Question

C.p.of 12 articles=s.p. of 10 articles find the profit or loss

Answer 1

Answer:

Hint: Let the C.P. of 1 article be x ⇒

C.P. of 10 articles is 10x. It is given that; C.P. of 10 articles = S.P. of 12 articles. Using that, find the S.P. in terms of x. Compare S.P. and C.P. and decide whether it is a gain or a loss.

Complete step-by-step answer:

Let the C.P. of 1 article be x.

So, the C.P. of 10 articles is 10x.

It is given that; C.P. of 10 articles = S.P. of 12 articles = 10x.

Now, the S.P. of 12 articles = 10x.

Therefore, the S.P. of 1 articles is 10x12=5x6

.

Here, C.P. >

S.P. Hence, it is a loss.

∴

Loss =

C.P. – S.P.

=x−5x6=6x−5x6=x6

Now, for loss %

Loss %

=(LossC.P.) \times 100%

=⎛⎝⎜x6x⎞⎠⎟×100%=16×100%=16.67%

Hence, the answer is It is a loss. Loss %

= 16.67%

.
