A man purchased 8 oranges in ₹15 and sold 10 oranges in ₹ 18. Find his profit or loss percentage.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Qty. Rs.
CP 8 15
SP 10 18
⇒ Make quantity equal
Qty. Rs.
CP 5 × (8 15)
SP 4 × (10 18)
⇒ Qty. Rs.
CP 40 75
SP 40 72
CP (75) > SP (72) and the difference is Rs. 3
So loss = \(\frac{3 × 100}{75}\) = 4%
