Answer 2

Answer:

C) Profit = 100/9 %

Step-by-step explanation:

1 wind fan CP in 1st shop = Rs.1/4 and 1 wind fan CP in 2nd shop = Rs.1/5

On mixing these 2 wind fans, the cost price of these 2 will be =1/4 + 1/5= Rs.9/20

So, CP of 1 wind fan = $\frac{9/20}{2}$ = Rs.$\frac{9}{40}$

Actual price at which 1 wind fan is sold after combining = Rs.1/4

SP - CP = 1/4 - 9/40 = 1/40 = It is positive; so it is profit

% Profit or Loss = $\frac{Profit OR Loss X 100}{Cost Price}$

% profit =$\frac{1/40}{9/40}$ x 100 = 100/9 %
