Question

Nivedita sells two computers for ₹18000 each,gaining 20%on one and losing 20 % on other.find her gain or loss % on the whole transaction.​

Answer 1

Cost price of two computer = ₹36000

selling price of one computer is 20% gain and other 20% loss so neither profit nor gain

So selling price of two computer is also ₹36000

Answer 2

Sale price of first computer = Rs 24000

gain = 20%

So cost of first computer = 100/120 x 24000 = Rs 20,000

Sale price of second computer = Rs 24000

Loss 20%

So cost of second computer = 100/80 x 24000 = Rs 30,000

Total cost = Rs 50,000

Total sale value = Rs 48000

Loss = Rs 2000

Loss % = 2000/50000 x100= 4 % LOSS ANSWER
