Profit and Loss Q.2

0. Ram buys some paper wind fans at 4 per rupee. He then buys the same number of paper wind fans from another shop at 5 per rupee. He puts them all together and sells them at 4 per rupee. Will he make a profit or incur a loss? How much?

  • Option :
  • Explanation : 1 wind fan C.P. in 1st shop = Rs 1/4 and 1 wind fan C.P. in 2nd shop = Rs 1/5
    On mixing these 2 wind fans, the cost price of these 2 will be = 1/4 + 1/5 = Rs 9/20
    So, C.P. of 1 wind fan = (9/20)/2 = Rs 9/40.
    Actual price at which 1 wind fan is sold after combining = Rs 1/4
    S.P. – C.P. = 1/4 - 9/40 = 1/40 = Tt is positive; so it is profit
