Answer»

i. Cost price = Rs 4500 

Selling price = Rs 5000 

Selling price is greater than cost price.

∴ There is a profit. 

∴ Profit = Selling price – Cost price 

= 5000 – 4500 

∴ Profit = Rs 500

ii. Cost price = Rs 4100 

Selling price = Rs 4090 

Cost price is greater than selling price. 

∴ There is a loss. 

∴ Loss = Cost price – Selling price 

= 4100 – 4090 

∴ Loss = Rs 10

iii. Cost price = Rs 700 

Selling price = Rs 799 

Selling price is greater than cost price. 

∴ There is a profit. 

∴ Profit = Selling price – Cost price 

= 799 – 700 

∴ Profit = Rs 99

iv. Cost price = Rs 1000 

Selling price = Rs 920 

Cost price is greater than selling price. 

∴ There is a loss. 

∴ Loss = Cost price – Selling price 

= 1000 – 920 

∴ Loss = Rs 80
