A manufacturer undertakes to supply 2000 pieces of a particular component at Rs.25 per piece. According to his estimates, even if 5% fail to pass the quality tests, then he will make a profit of 25%. However, as it turned out, 50% of the components were rejected. What is the loss to the manufacturer?
(a) Rs.12000 (b) Rs.13000 (c) Rs.14000 (d) Rs.15000

• Sale according to 5% loss = 1900*25 = 47500
  
  original production cost = 47500/1.25 = 38000
  
  Sale according to 50% loss = 10000* 25 = 25000
  
  so loss = 38000-25000 = 13000

• total=2000*25=50000
  5%fail of total estimate=0.5*50000=2500
  remainig estimate=47500
  he will make profit=25%
  c.p=47500/1.25=38000
  he loss 50% of 50000=25000 loss=38000-25000=13000

• since we r undertaking to supply 2000 products
  so 2100 (2000+5%of 2000 which is loss)must be produced
  now
  2000*25=50000(sp)
  but
  2100*25=52500(sp actually)
  so 52500-50000=2500(loss)
  
  and 25% profit
  (0.25+1)CP=50000
  cp= 40000
  now profit=SP-CP
  =50000-40000=10000
  but also we are loosing CP of 100(5%)products
  ie 2500 Rs.
  
  net profit=10000-2500=7500Rs.
  
  not at2100 ie(5% loss)our profit is 7500Rs.
  for 2400(20% loss) we do not have any profit or loss
  again for 3000(50% loss) we get loss of 15000/-
