• In such type of qsns, result always be loss.
  C.P1=8000*100/(100-20)=10000
  C.P2=8000*100/(100+20)=6666.667
  total CP=CP1+Cp2 = 16666.667
  loss = 16666.667-16000= 666.667

• For example take an object name as X.Then if it price increased by 20% then its price is 120 and then decreased by 20% its actual price is reduced by 4%.Is it right?

• cp of 1st one is 8000/1.2=6666.67
  & cp of 2nd one was 8000/0.8=10000
  so the total cost price is 1666.67 and sold at 16000
  
  therfore a loss of 666.67
