Question

By selling two transistors for Rs. 600 each, a shopkeeper gains 20 percent on one transistor and loses 20 Percent on the other,
Find: (i) C.P.of each transistor.
(ii) total C P and total S.P. of both the transistors
(iii) profit or loss percent on the whole.

Solution

Let CP1 & CP2 be the cost price of 1st transistors and 2nd transistors respectively
selling price of each transistors, SP1=RS600
Gain of one transistors = 20%
SP1CP1CP1×100=20.
600CP1CP1×100=20.
600CP1=20100CP1
600=20100CP1+CP1
120100CP1=600
CP1=600×100120
CP1=Rs500
and loss of other transistors = 20 %
CP2SP1CP1×100=20
CP2600=20100CP2
CP220100CP2=600
80100CP2=600
CP2=600×10080
=RS 750
cost price of 1st transistors = Rs 1350
Cost price of 2nd transistors = Rs 750.
Total cost price ,CP = Rs (600+750) = 1350
Total selling price SP = Rs (600+600) = Rs 1200.
loss on the whole = CPSPCP×100
135012001350×100
1501350×100
= 11.11 % (approx.)
