Question

d) A shopkeeper bought two radios for Rs 6,000. He sold one of them at a profit of
20% and the other at a loss of 10%. If he gained 2% on his total outlay, at what
price did he buy each radio?
​

Answer 1

Let 1st radio price will be X And 2nd radio price is Y. So both radio price is 6000rs

Writting sentence 1) into equation we get

X+Y=6000……..………………..(1)

1st radio sold at 20% profit & 2nd radio sold at 10% loss. And shopkeeper gained 2% profit on 6000rs investment

By writing sentence 2) into equation we get

1.2X+0.9Y=6120(102% 6000)………. (2)

By solving 1 & 2

We get

X=2400

Y=3600
