Answer:

There is a loss of 0.9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Jai narayan sells two radio sets for Rs.2288 each. On one he gains 10 percent and on the other he loses 10 percent.

To Find : His gain or loss percent ?

Solution :

The selling price of two radio sets is Rs.2288.

The gain percent is 10%.

The cost price is given by,

CP=\frac{SP\times 100}{100+P\%}

CP=\frac{2288\times 100}{100+10}

CP=\frac{228800}{110}

CP=2080

The loss percent is 10%.

The cost price is given by,

CP=\frac{SP\times 100}{100-P\%}

CP=\frac{2288\times 100}{100-10}

CP=\frac{228800}{90}

CP=2542.22

The total cost price is 2080+2542.22=Rs.4622.22

The total selling price is 2288+2288=Rs.4576

As CP>SP there is a loss.

Loss percent is given by,

L\%=\frac{CP-SP}{CP}\times 100

L\%=\frac{4622.22-4576}{4622.22}\times 100

L\%=\frac{46.22}{4622.22}\times 100

L\%=0.9\%

Therefore, There is a loss of 0.9%.
