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.
and Profit on B=(150-200)= -50 Rs(- means loss)
1st day:
Total loss=30×1-50×50=-2470 Rs.
2nd day:
Total loss=30×7-50×48=-2190 Rs.
3rd day:
Total loss=30×13-50×46=-1910 Rs.
4th day:
Total loss=30×19-50×44=-1630 Rs.
5th day:
Total loss=30×25-50×42=-1350 Rs.
6yh day:
Total loss=30×31-50×40=-1070 Rs.
7th day:
Total loss=30×37-50×38=-790 Rs.
8th day:
Total loss=30×43-50×36=-510 Rs.
9th day:
Total loss=30×49-50×34=-230 Rs.
10th day:
Total profit=30×55-50×32=50 Rs.
So, loss will continue for 9 days.
