A shopkeeper sells two types of articles A and B for the same price at Rs. 150/-. The cost prices of them are respectively Rs. 120/- and Rs. 200/-. On the first day he sells only one item of A and increases this number by 6 units each day. He sells 50 units of 13 on first day and decreases this number each day by 2 units. The number of days the shopkeeper incurs a net loss continuously is
Selling price of A and B are 150 Rs.
Cost price of A and B are 120 and 200 Rs.
profit on A=(150-120)=30 Rs.Â
and Profit on B=(150-200)= -50 Rs(- means loss)
1st day:
Total loss=30Ă—1-50Ă—50=-2470 Rs.
2nd day:
Total loss=30Ă—7-50Ă—48=-2190 Rs.
3rd day:
Total loss=30Ă—13-50Ă—46=-1910 Rs.
4th day:
Total loss=30Ă—19-50Ă—44=-1630 Rs.
5th day:
Total loss=30Ă—25-50Ă—42=-1350 Rs.
6yh day:
Total loss=30Ă—31-50Ă—40=-1070 Rs.
7th day:
Total loss=30Ă—37-50Ă—38=-790 Rs.
8th day:
Total loss=30Ă—43-50Ă—36=-510 Rs.
9th day:
Total loss=30Ă—49-50Ă—34=-230 Rs.
10th day:
Total profit=30Ă—55-50Ă—32=50 Rs.
So, loss will continue for 9 days.
