Q. A man sold 2 pens. Initial cost of each pen was Rs. 24. If he sell it together one at 25% profit and another 20% loss. Find the amount of loss or gain, if he sells them seperately.

• Given CP of each pen=Rs 24
  Given 1 pen is sold at 25% profit therefore SP=125/100*CP
  SP=((125/100)*24)=30 Rs
  Given other at loss of 20%
  SP=((80/100)*24)=19.2 Rs
  Total SP=30+19.2=49.2 Rs
  Total CP=24+24=48 Rs
  Man gains 49.2-48=1.2Rs
