Answer» Answer: Selling price of each bullock = ₹ 8400. , gain(r) on ONE bullock = 20%. C.P/S.P = 100/(100+r). C.P./8400= 100/(100+20). Or. C.P. = 8400×(100/120)= ₹ 7000. Let C.P. of other bullock =₹ x. There is NEITHER loss nor gain , therefore:- TOTAL C.P. = total S.P. ₹ 7000 + ₹ x. = ₹8400 + ₹ 8400. or, x = 16800–7000 = ₹ 9800. , thus , loss on other bullock=₹(9800-8400)=₹1400. Loss % = 1400×100/9800 = 100/7 % or, 14.29 %. Answer. |
