Question

Babu purchased a car for ₹3,00,000/- and a bike for his son for ₹1,00,000/-. He sold the car at a profit of 10% and bike at a loss of 20%. What is the net gain or loss?

A.

2.5% loss

B.

2.5% gain

C.

1.5% loss

D.

2% gain

Correct option is B

Given:

Car Purchase Price = ₹3,00,000

Bike Purchase Price = ₹1,00,000

Profit on Car = 10%

Loss on Bike = 20% 

Formula Used:

gain % = gaincost price×100\frac{\text{gain}}{\text{cost price}}×100

Solution:

Profit on the car = 10% of ₹3,00,000

=10100×3,00,000=30,000= \frac{10}{100} × ₹3,00,000 = ₹30,000 

Loss on the bike = 20% of ₹1,00,000

=20100×1,00,000=20,000= \frac{20}{100} × ₹1,00,000 = ₹20,000 

Net gain = Profit - loss 

Net gain = 30,000 - 20000 = 10,000 

Net gain % = 10000400000×100=104=2.5%\frac{10000}{400000}×100 = \frac{10}{4} = 2.5\% 

Thus the gain percentage is 2.5%.
