Question

THE TWO MACHINES
A man recently bought two Machines, but
afterwards found that they would not answer the
purpose for which he wanted them. So he sold
them for Rs.6000 each, making a loss of 20 per cent
on one machine and a profit of 20 per cent on the
other.
Did he make a profit on the whole transaction, or a
loss? And how much?

Answer 1

Answer:

loss of rs500

Step-by-step explanation:

sp of first=cp+profit

6000=cp+20/100*cp

cp=6000*100/120=5000

sp of second =cp-loss.

6000=cp-20/100*cp

=6000*100/80=7500

total cp=5000+7500=12500

sp=2*6000=12000

loss=cp-sp

=12500-12000

=500
