Answer 1

Answer:

refer to the attachment

Answer 2

Answer:

Harish had a loss of Rs 2.5.

Step-by-step-explanation:

For first rice,

Rate of rice = Rs 4 per kg

Amount of rice purchased = 25 kg

∴ Cost of rice purchased = Rs 4 * 25

⇒ Cost of rice purchased = Rs 100

For second rice,

Rate of rice = Rs 4.50 per kg

Amount of rice purchased = 35 kg

∴ Cost of rice purchased = Rs 4.50 * 35

⇒ Cost of rice purchased = Rs 157.50

Total cost price of rice ( CP ) = Rs 100 + Rs 157.50

⇒ CP = Rs 257.50

Now,

Rate of selling rice = Rs 4.25 per kg

Amount of rice sold = 25 kg + 35 kg = 60 kg

∴ Total selling price of rice ( SP ) = 4..25 * 60

⇒ SP = Rs 255

Here,

CP > SP

∴ There was loss in the transaction.

Now,

Loss = CP - SP

⇒ Loss = 257.50 - 255

⇒ Loss = Rs 2.5

∴ Harish had a loss of Rs 2.5.
