Question

A Man sold 2 articles for 4,000 each, gained 15% on one and lost 15% on the other. What is the total gain or loss rounded to the nearest integer?

A.

200 gain

B.

190 loss

C.

184 loss

D.

175 gain

Correct option is C

1st article sells at 15% profit, CP : SP = 20 : 23,
the 2nd article sells at 15% loss, CP : SP = 20 : 17
Now, the selling price of two articles is the same, we make SP equal in both the ratios we get, 

 
CP
SP
1st article × 17
340
391
2nd article × 23
460
391
Total
800
782

 
So, 391 unit → 4000, 
Then, total loss (800 - 782) = 18 unit → 4000/391 × 18 = Rs.184
