एक व्यापारी दो वस्तुओं को समान विक्रय मूल्य पर बेचता है। एक वस्तु पर उसे 10% का लाभ होता है, जबकि दूसरी वस्तु पर उसे 10% की हानि होती है। पूरे लेन-देन में उसे कुल कितना लाभ या हानि होती है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
1% loss/ 1 हानि
Let the selling price of each article be 100.
For the first article:
10% profit
Cost price = $\frac{100\times100}{110}$
= 90.91
For the second article:
10% loss
Cost price = $\frac{100\times100}{90}$
= 111.11
Total CP = 90.91 + 111.11 = 202.02
Total SP = 100 + 100 = 200
Loss = 202.02 − 200 = 2.02
Loss percentage:
$\frac{2.02}{202.02}\times100$
=1%
Correct answer: 1% loss / 1% हानि
