Question

selling price of two articles of each os equal .one article is sold at profit of 50%.at what. %should he sell second article with no profit or no loss in whole transaction...????hurry answer plzzzzz

Answer 1

Let say both are sold at same price of 100.

Situation 1: 75% profit

Let say cp=x

So so= x+.75x=1.75x

So actual cost price is : 100÷1.75=57.143

Profit in this sale=42.857

Situation 2: 30% loss

Let say cp=x

Then so sp=x-30%x=0.7x

So : 0.7x=100, then x=100/0.7=142.857

Hence loss on this sale is 42.857

So net profit on both sale is 42.857–42.857=0

So no profit no loss.

Answer 2

if both the articles for the price 200 rupees and one article is sold at Fifty Percent then other is also sold at Fifty Percent so there is no profit no loss in whole transaction.
