A person gains Rs. 2 on product x and loses Rs 3 on product y. If he sells 8 items
of x and 5 items of y his profit or loss is
a. Profit of Re 1
b. Loss of Rel c. -2
d. neither profit nor loss​

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Profit of Re 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Gain on product x = Rs. 2

Gain on total selling of 8 products of x = 2 × 8 = Rs. 16

Loss on product y = Rs. 3

Loss on total selling of 5 products of y = 3 × 5 = Rs. 15

Clearly, Rs. 16 > Rs. 15

Hence, there is a profit of Rs. 1

[16 - 15 = Rs. 1]
