      Question

      Arjun sold two items for Rs. 990 each, one at 10% profit

      and other at 10% loss. Determine his overall profit/loss % from the whole transaction
      A 5% loss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 2% profit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1% loss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 4% profit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,


      Cost price of the items that was sold at 10% profit = 990 ÷ 1.10 = Rs. 900

      Cost price of the items that was sold at 10% loss = 990 ÷ 0.90 = Rs. 1,100

      Total cost price of both items = 900 + 1100 = Rs. 2,000

      Total selling price of both the items = 990 + 990 = Rs. 1980

      Total loss = 2000 – 1980 = Rs. 20

      % loss = (20/2000) × 100 = 1%
