Additionally, the combined cost price of both items is тВ╣4000. Determine whether there is an overall profit or loss from selling both items and by how much.
    A Rs. 2400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 1490 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 2160 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 1160 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 1600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the marked price of both the items be Rs. 100a So, selling price of item 'S' = 100a X 0.82 = Rs. 82a Also, selling price of item 'R' = 100a X 0.9 X 0.8 = Rs. 72a ATQ, (82a - 72a) = 400 Or, 10a = 400 So, 'a' = 40 So, total selling price = Rs. (82a + 72a) = Rs. 154a = Rs. 154 X 40 = Rs. 6160 Therefore, overall profit on selling both items = 6160 - 4000 = Rs. 2160
