A man sold two items for Rs. 10000 each. On the first item, he gained 25%. On the second item, he lost 20%. Find his total profit or loss amount in Rupees.
A. Profit Rs. 500
B. Loss Rs. 500
C. Loss Rs. 1000
D. Profit Rs. 1000
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
SP1 = 10000, Profit = 25%, CP1 = 10000 / 1.25 = 8000. SP2 = 10000, Loss = 20%, CP2 = 10000 / 0.80 = 12500. Total CP = 8000 + 12500 = 20500. Total SP = 10000 + 10000 = 20000. Total Loss = Total CP - Total SP = 20500 - 20000 = Rs. 500.
