x sells two articles for rs4000 each with no loss and no gain in the transaction.if one was sold at a gain of 25% the other was sold at a loss of how much?

• the first article got 25% gain so the original price of the first article=4000*100/125=3200
  so he got 800 rs profit.
  so in the second article, he will get 800 loss (in the case of no profit and no gain)
  then the cast price of second article =4800.
  loss %=
  4800*x/100=4000.
  x=83.33%
  so loss %=16.66

• Each item is 4000 so total is 8000
  If 1st item is sold at profit 25% then
  125/100*(4000)=5000
  So second item should be sold for 3000
  Then (100-x)/100*(4000)=3000
  X=25%

• C.P. of two articles = Rs. 8000
  S.P. of one articles = Rs. 4000
  Gain = 25%
  ∴ C.P. of this article = Rs (100/125) x 4000 = Rs.3200
  C.P. of another article = Rs. (8000 - 3200) = Rs. 4800
  S.P. of this article = Rs. 4000
  ∴ Loss% = (800/4800) x 100 % = 16.66%

• in the 1st case its says no profit no loss on 2 article .
  i.e cp = sp = 4000 (given for each)
  total sp =4000 + 4000
  cp = sp = 8000.
  if one item solad at 25 % profit, then
  sp = cp[1+%gain/100].
  sp=5000.
  now if one item sold at 5000 then another have must sold at 3000 bcz total cp = 8000.
  now if 2nd item sold at sp = 3000.
  then %loss = (cp - sp)/cp * 100.
  %loss = (4000 - 3000)/4000 *100.
  %loss = 25 %.(ans)

• C.P of two items = Rs. 8000
  S.P of one item = RS. 4000
  Profit = 25%
  So C.P of the item with gain 25% is : 25 = [(4000-C.P)/C.P]*100, upon solving we get C.P as Rs.3200
  Now C.P of the second item = Rs. 8000 - Rs. 3200 = Rs. 4800
  S.P of this item is Rs. 4000,
  so loss % = [(4800-4000)/4800]*100
  loss % = 16.6

• first article sp=4000, gain 25%
  cp: sp
  4:5
  x:4000
  so, x=3200
  no loss no gain so loss=800
  second article sp=4000
  loss=cp-sp
  800=cp-4000
  so cp=4800
  loss%=loss*100/cp
  %=800*100/4800
  so %=100/6=16.66%

• s.p=4000
  cp=x
  p=25%
  x=3200
  (sp=cp(100+p)/100)
  for second item
  sp=4000
  cp=8000-x=4800
  l=4800-cp=800
  l%=l/cp*100
  l%=800/4800*100
  ans=l%=16.66
