Q4 of 59 Page 9

Hari bought two fans for ₹ 2,400 each. He sold one at a loss of 10% and the other at a profit of 15%. Find the selling price of each fan and find also the total profit or loss.

CP of a fan = ₹ 2,400

He sold 1st fan at Loss of 10%


SP of 1st fan = CP – 10% of CP




⇒ SP of 1st fan = 2160


He sold another fan at profit of 15%


SP of 2nd fan = CP + 15% of CP




⇒ SP of 2nd fan = 2760


Overall Profit/Loss = SP of both fans – CP of both fans


= (2760+2160)-(2400+2400)


= 120


∴ He made an overall profit of Rs.120
