By selling two transistors for Rs600 each, a shopkeeper gains 20%on one transistor and loses 20% on the other. Find:
1) C.P of each transistor
2) Total CP and total SP
3) Profit or loss on the whole

Step-by-step explanation:
CP of first transistor =500
CP of second transistor=₹750
Answer:
1) C.P of each transistor = Rs. 500 and Rs. 750
2) Total CP = Rs. 1250 and total SP = Rs. 1200
3) Loss on whole transaction (4% loss)
Step-by-step explanation:
Selling two transistors each at Rs. 600. So, total Selling Price is Rs. 1200
First Transaction- 20% gain by selling at Rs. 600
120% of CP1 = 600
(120/100) × CP1 =600
CP1 = Rs. 500
Second Transaction - 20% loss by selling at Rs. 600
80% of CP2 = 600
(80/100) × CP2 = 600
CP2 = Rs. 750
So, total CP's = 500+750 = Rs. 1250
So, he bought two transistors at Rs. 1250 and sell it for Rs. 1200. So, clearly it is Loss on whole transaction.
Loss percentage:
1250 = 100%
1200 = ? %
= (1200×100) ÷ 1250
= 96%
So, (100-96) 4% loss.
