Answer» Correct Answer - D Let the cost price of the first book be Rs 100x. The profit made on it `=(10)/(100) (Rs 100x) =Rs 10x` its selling price =Rs 110x The cost price of the second book -Rs 110x. The loss suffered on it `=(10)/(100)(Rs 111x) =Rs 11x` Its selling price =Rs 99x Total cost price `=Rs 210x` Total selling price `=Rs 209x` As `210 x gt 209x` on overall loss is made . Overall loss = Rs x `:. ` Overall loss percentage `=(x)/(210x) xx (100%) =(10)/(21)%` |
