Question : 6 [SSC CGL Prelim 2002]
A shopkeeper sells two T.V. sets at the same price. There is a gain of 20% on one TV and a loss of 20% on the other. State which of the following statement is correct :
a) The shopkeeper loses by 4%
b) The shopkeeper gains by 4%
c) The shopkeeper loses by 2%
d) The shopkeeper makes no net gain or profit
Answer »Answer: (a)
Using Rule 10,If a man sells two similar objects, one at a loss of x% and another at a gain of x%, then he always incurrs loss in this transaction and loss% is $x^2/100%$
If a man sells two articles at same price and makes a profit of x% on first and x% loss on second, there is always a loss of $x^2/100%$
Loss% = $(20)^2/100 = 100/400$ = 4%
Question : 7 [SSC CGL Prelim 1999]
A person sells two machines at Rs.396 each. On one he gains 10% and on the other he loses 10%. His profit or loss in the whole transaction is :
a) 8% profit
b) 1% profit
c) 1% loss
d) no gain no loss
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 10,
Here, the S.P. is same for both the machines. Hence, there will be always a loss in this situation. Required loss %
= ${10 × 10}/100$ = 1%
Question : 8 [SSC CGL Prelim 2005]
A man sells two pipes at Rs.12 each. He gains 20% on one and loses 20% on the other. In the whole transaction, there is
a) Profit of Rs.2
b) loss of Rs.1
c) profit of Rs.1
d) neither loss nor gain
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 10,
Required loss% = $(20)^2/100 = 100/400$ = 4%
Since, (100 - 4)% ≡ 24
4% ≡ $24/96 × 4$ = Loss of Rs.1
Question : 9 [SSC CHSL 2011]
Some toffees were bought at the rate of 11 for Rs.10 and the same number at the rate of 9 for Rs.10. If the whole lot was sold at one rupee per toffee, then the gain or loss in the whole transaction was
a) gain of 1.5%
b) neither gain nor loss
c) gain of 1%
d) loss of 1%
Answer »Answer: (d)
For the sake of convenience, Let the number of toffees of each type bought be 99 (LCM 11 and 9).
CP of first kind of 99 toffees = Rs.90
CP of second kind of 99 toffees = Rs.110
CP of 198 toffees = Rs.200
SP of 198 toffees = Rs.198
Loss = Rs.2 ⇒ Loss % = $2/200 × 100$ = 1%
Question : 10 [SSC CGL Prelim 2002]
A man sells two articles at Rs.99 each. On one he gains 10% and on the other he loses 10%. What is his gain or loss per cent on the whole transaction ?
a) Profit, 1.5%
b) Profit, 1%
c) Loss, 1.5%
d) Loss, 1%
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 10,
Loss % = x% of x or $x^2/100$
Here, x = 10
Loss% = ${10 × 10}/100$ = 1%
