Question

Pritamsingh sold his car incurring a loss of 10%. Had he sold it for Rs.1.2
lacks more, he would have gained 10%. Find the cost price of the car.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the first case he gains 10%

∴ C. P. of the first car

=

110

100×9900

=Rs.9000

In the second case he loses 10%

∴ C. P. of the second car

=

90

100×9900

=Rs.11000

∴ Total cost of both cars

=9000+11000=Rs.20000

∴ Total S. P. of both cars

=2×9900=Rs.19800

∴ Total loss =20000−19800=Rs.200

∴ % of loss =

20000

200×100

=1%
