Question

If sp of an article is 1/4 of its cp then find the profit and loss

Answer 1

Answer:Rs. 3x/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C.P. be x

Hence S.P. = 1/4*x                             GIVEN

C.P. is more. Thus, Loss

Loss = C.P. - S.P. = x-1/4*x                

= x - x/4                                               L.C.M = 4

=4x-x/4

=3x/4

HENCE, IT IS A LOSS OF Rs. 3x/4
