    A shopkeeper bought a computer for Rs. 30,000 and a printer

    for Rs. 5,000. He sold the computer at a profit of 10% and the printer at a loss of 15%. Find the total profit or loss for him in the transaction.
    A Rs.250 Loss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.200 Loss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.100 Profit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.130 Profit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Sum of cost price of the computer and printer = 30000 + 5000 = Rs. 35,000

    Selling price of the computer = 30000 × 1.10 = Rs. 33,000

    Selling price of the printer = 5000 × 0.85 = Rs. 4,250

    Total loss in the transaction = (33000 + 4250) - 35000 = Rs. 250
