A man sold two cycles at Rs.1125 each. By selling one cycle, he gained 11% and by selling the other cycle, he lost 11%. Find his gain or loss.
Cycle 1:Â
Selling Price (SP) = Rs. 1125
Profit % (p)Â = 11%
To find Cost Price (CP):
$$ \frac{1125 - CP}{CP} \times 100 = 11$$
112500 - 100CP = 11CP
111CP = 112500
Therefore, CP = Rs. 1013.51
Cycle 2:
Selling Price (SP) = Rs. 1125
Loss % (l)Â = 11%
To find Cost Price (CP):
$$ \frac{CP - 1125}{CP} \times 100 = 11$$
100CP - 112500 = 11CP
89CP = 112500
Therefore, CP = Rs. 1264
Total:
SP = 1125 +Â 1125 = 2250
CP = 1013.5 +Â 1264 = 2277.5
CP > SP . Therefore, it is loss.
Loss % (l) = $$ \frac {Â 2277.5 - 2250 } {2277} $$ = 1.2 %
Therefore, Option D is correct.
