Answers
Answer:
cost of 5kg apples=250 ruppees
SP of 2kg apples=120
apples got bad = 1kg
=50 ruppees
SP of 2kg apples afterwards =55 per kg
=110 ruppees
so, cost of 4kg apples=120+110=230 ruppees
loss=250-230=20 ruppees
The seller had a loss of 2o ruppees

GIVEN
Devang bought 5kg apples at ₹50 per kg.He sold 2kg of apples at the rate of ₹60 per kg.By that time 1kg of apples had gone bad.He quickly sold the remaining apples at ₹55 per kg.
TO FIND
The net loss or gain %.
SOLUTION
We can simply solve the above problem as follows;
Total cost price of 5 kg = 5 × 50 = Rs 250
Selling price of 2 kg of apples = 60 × 2 = Rs 120
Selling price of 5-3 = 2 kg of apples = 55 × 2 = Rs 110
Total Selling price of apples = 120 + 110 = Rs 230
Since,
CP > SP
Therefore,
Loss = Cost price - selling price
= 250 - 230
= 20
Loss% = (Loss/Cp)× 100
= (20/250)×100
= 8%
Hence, The answer is 8%
