A man bought two article for ₹3,000 each.He sold one article at 10% profit and the other at 5% loss.What is the total profit or loss percentage?
Cost price of each article = Rs 3000
First article is sold at profit of 10%
Selling price of first article = $$10\%\ of\ 3000+3000$$
$$\frac{10}{100}\times\ \ 3000+3000=₹3300$$
Second Article is sold at loss of 5%
Selling price of second article = $$3000-\frac{5}{100}\times\ 3000=₹2850$$
Total cost price = 3000 + 3000 = 6000
Total selling price = 3300 + 2850 = 6150
Required % = $$\frac{6150-6000}{6000}\times\ 100=2.5\%$$
There would be a profit because selling price is greater than cost price.
Hence, Option B is correct.
