Profit and Loss
a man buys m no. of pens for rs. n each and sells n no. of pens for rs. m each. then what is the profit he have earned?
Read Solution (Total 14)
-
- c.p. of 1 pen=Rs n (given each)
so c.p. of m pens=rs mn
s.p. of 1 pen =rs m
so s.p. of n pens=rs mn
so profit =s.p.-c.p.=0(zero) - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(66) No(17)
- the cost price of m no. of pens = n.
and the sell price of n no. of pens = m
so, the sell price of 1 no. of pen = m/n
so, the sell price of m no. of pens =(m/n)*m=m^2/n
so profit=(m^2/n)-n=((m^2-n^2)/n) - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(33) No(18)
- a man buys m pens for rs. n each= m*n=rs. mn
he sells n pens for rs. m each =n*m=rs. mn
but, actual cost for n pens is =n*n=rs. n^2
profit or loss depends on value of mn-n^2==>n(m-n)/100 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- Let 6 item brought at 5 rs. and sold 5 items at 6 rs.
Then l.c.m of 6 and 5=30
S.P of items=30/6*5=25
C.P of items=30/5*6=36
Loss=36-25=11
Loss%=11/25*100=44% - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(3)
- there will be loss no profit

- man buys m pens for rs n=m*n
sells n pens for rs m=n*m
there is no profit and no loss - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- c.p of each pen = n
s.p of each pen =m
pofit = s.p-c.p therefore
profit =m-n
total profit =individual profit*no. of pens
hence total profit= (m-n)*m - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- i think answer would be =n^2 Rs

- Quantity. Price
CP m n -----> eq 1
SP n m -----> eq 2
by making quantity same we can easily calculate...
multiply eq 1 by n & eq 2 by m
Quantity. Price
CP n * ( m n ) -----> eq 1
SP m *( n m ) -----> eq 2
Quantity. Price
CP nm n^2 -----> eq 1
SP mn m ^2 -----> eq 2
Profit will be = ( m^2 - n^2 ) - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- "m" -->consider an example like: buys 3 pens at rs 2/each i.e c.p= 6 rs,
buys 2 pens at rs 3/each i.e 6rs
so s.p for 3 pens is RS 9
profit is (6-9)=3 which is "m"

- In this question must be N
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- profit is 0
m*n=n*m - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Cost price of 1 pen is = n
Selling price of 1 pen is = m
Cost price of n pens will be= n*n
Selling price of n pens is= n*m
Profit = S.P-C.P
= n(m-n) - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- no profit no loss
- 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
