    A person buys 2 items for ₹300 each. He sells one at a

    profit of 10% and the other at a loss of 10%. What is the overall gain or loss percentage?
    A No profit, no loss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1% gain Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1% loss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2% loss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Profit on the first item = 10% of ₹300 = ₹30, Selling price of the first item = ₹300 + ₹30 = ₹330. Loss on the second item = 10% of ₹300 = ₹30, Selling price of the second item = ₹300 - ₹30 = ₹270. Total selling price = ₹330 + ₹270 = ₹600. Total cost price = ₹300 + ₹300 = ₹600. No overall profit or loss. Answer: a) No profit, no loss.
