Answer:
another one bullocks 20 % profit and another 20% loss that's mean same amount
of profit and loss
Step-by-step explanation:
let bullocks cost price X
one bullocks grain 20%
then sell price of bullock = (100+20)/100 ×X
= 120/100 ×X = 6/5 ×X
another bullocks loss 20%
then sell price (100-20) / 100 × X
= 80/100× x = 4/5 X
then two bullocks sell price
= 6/5 ×X + 4/5 × X
= X( 6/5+4/5) = X(10/5) =2x
given two bullocks sold 18000 rupees
so 2x= 1800
so two bullocks cost price 1800
there was no profit and lost
