    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
