    Kamya purchased an item for Rs. 46000 and sold it at a loss of 12%. With that amount she purchased another item and sold it at a gain of 12%. What was her overall gain/loss?

    A) Loss of Rs. 662.40

    B) Profit of Rs. 662.40

    C) Loss of Rs. 642.80

    D) Profit of Rs. 642.80

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[\because \]CP of an item = Rs. 46000 and loss per cent = 12% \[\therefore \] SP of an item \[=\frac{46000\times (100-12)}{100}=\text{Rs}.\,\,40480\] Now, SP of another item \[=\frac{40480\times (100+12)}{100}=\text{Rs}.\,\,45337.60\] Hence, loss \[=(46000-45337.60)\] = Rs. 662.40
