Ram invested ₹42,000/- in the shares of a company. He sold one-third of the total shares at a profit of 10%. He sold the remaining shares at 10% loss. How much did Ram lose?

Correct option is C

Given: 

Ram invested = Rs. 42000 

He sold one- third of the total shares = 10% profit 

Remaining shares = 10% loss 

Solution:   

He sold one- third of the total shares = $$\frac{1}{3}\times42000$$ = 14000  

= $$140000 \times 10\% = 1400$$​​

He sold remaining part = 42000 - 14000 = 28000  

= $$28000 \times 10$$%

                                       = 2800  

Overall loss = 2800 - 1400 = Rs.1400
