Question

    Two items were sold at Rs. 9000 each. The first was sold

    at 50 percent loss and the second was sold at 50 percent profit. Find the total loss on selling both the items.
    A Rs. 4500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 2400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 6000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 1800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The cost price of the item sold in profit = 9000 × 100/150 = Rs. 6000 The cost price of the item sold in loss = 9000 × 100/50 = Rs. 18,000 Total CP = 6000 + 18000 = 24,000 Total SP = 2 × 9000 = 18,000 Loss = CP - SP = 6,000 ∴ The total loss is Rs. 6000
