100 for rs400

100-30=70

Sp=Rs350

Therefore it is a

LOSS by Rs50

Answer 2

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\sf{\blue{SOLUTION:-}}}}}$

$\sf{\underline{\pink{Answer-}}}$

• Pramod had a loss of Rs 50 in the deal.

$\sf{\underline{\pink{Given-}}}$

• Pramod bought 100 bunches of methi greens for Rs 400 in a sudden downpour, 30 of the bunches on his handcart got spoilt he sold the rest at the rate of rs 5 each.

$\sf{\underline{\pink{We\:Have\:To\:Find-}}}$

• He make a profit or a loss? How much?

$\sf{\underline{\pink{Explanation-}}}$

$\sf \: CP \: of \: 100 \: bunches \: of \: methi \: greens = \: Rs \: 400$

$\sf \: Number \: of \: bunches \: get \: spoiled \: = \: 30$

$\sf \: Number \: of \: bunches\: left \: = \: 100 \: − \: 30 = 70$

$\sf \: SP \: of \: 1 \: bunch \: of \: methi \: greens = Rs \: 5$

$\sf \: Thus, \: selling \: price \: of \: 70 \: bunches \:  of \: methi \: greens-$

$\sf \: \: 5 × 70 = Rs \: 350$

$\sf \:SP \: is \: less \: than \: CP, so \: there \: is \: a \: loss.$

➨⠀$\sf \: Loss = CP − SP$

➨⠀$\sf \: 400 − \: 350$

➨⠀$\sf \: Rs \: 50$

• Hence, Pramod had a loss of Rs 50 in the deal.
