Answer 1

firstly 1500*12=18000 rupees

then 2050*8=16408 rupees

the 18000-16480= 13520 rupees

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

• 1.
• For the profit of wheat in a month = 1500 × 12 = 18000
• For the loss of rice in a month = 2050 × 8 = 16400
• 2.
• For the profit of wheat in a month = 1500 × 12 = 18000
• For the loss of rice in a month = 2400 × 8 = 19200
• 19200 - 18000 = 1200
• 1200 rice bags should be sold for neither loss nor profit
