Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

S.P of Article sold in a loss of 10% =

1485 +10/100×1485 = Rs 1633.5

S.p of article sold at a loss of 10% =

1485-10/100×1485= Rs 1336.5

Total C.p = 1485+1485 = Rs 2970

Total S.p = 1633.5 + 1633.5 = Rs 2970

As SP = C.P , there is loss nor profit .....
