Q:

A shopkeeper sells two articles at Rs.1000 each, making a profit of 20% on the first article and a loss of 20% on the second article. Find the net profit or loss that he makes?

A) 2% B) 4%
C) 3% D) 2.5%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 4%

Explanation:

SP of first article = 1000

Profit = 20%

CP = 100100+P×SP= 5000/6 = 2500/3


SP of second article = 1000

Loss = 20%

CP = 100100-L×SP= 5000/4 = 1250


Total SP = 2000

Total CP = 25003+ 1250 = 6250/3

CP is more than SP, he makes a loss.

Loss = CP-SP = (6250/3)- 2000 = 250/3


Loss Percent =250362503×100= 4%

A) 14 kmph B) 13 kmph
