  • Question
  • A person sold two cows each for Rs. 9900. If he gained 10% on one and lost 20% on the other, then which of the following is true?


  • Options
  • A. He gained Rs. 200
  • B. He lost Rs 200
  • C. He neither gained nor lost
  • D. None of the above

  • Correct Answer
  • None of the above 

    Explanation

    The cost price ( CP ) of profitable cow = 9900 / 1.1 = 9000
    and profit = Rs. 900

    The CP of loss yielding cow = 9900 / 0.8 =12375
    and loss = Rs. 2475

    So the net loss = 2475 - 900 = 1575
