Answer 1

Hey mate !
____________

CP of an article = Rs. 200
SP of the same = Rs. 198

Since , SP < CP , So

Loss = CP - SP

= Rs. ( 200 - 198 )

= Rs. 2

So , the Loss % is =

$\frac{loss}{cp} \times 100$

$\frac{2}{200} \times 100$

Here , 0s get cancelled and 2 gets cancelled .

Thus , Loss % = 1%

Answer 2

Let the cost price of an article be Rs x

C.P of 10 articles = Rs 10x

C.P of 12 articles = S.P of 10 articles

S.P of 10 articles = Rs 12x

Gain = Rs12x - Rs10x = Rs 2x

Gain %age = 2x/10x X 100%

                         20%

 Thus, gain%age will be 20%
