Answer:

•Correct option is D

➡ lost 10 cents

lost 10 paise

For 1

st

pipes, S.P =1.20 , profit =20 %

C.P=S.P−profit

CP=1.20−20%×CP

∴120% CP=1.20

∴CP=

120

1.20

×100

∴CP

1

=1.00

For 2

nd

=s.p+loss

CP=1.20+200 % CP

∴80% CP=1.20

∴CP=

80

1.20

×100

=1.50

∴ Total CP=1.00+1.50=2.50

Total SP=1.20+1.20=2.40

∴ He suffered 10 paise loss.
