Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Total selling price}} \cr & = \frac{{750 \times 100}}{{100}} + \frac{{750 \times 96}}{{100}} \cr & = 795 + 720 \cr & = 1515 \cr & {\text{Profit}} = 1515 - 1500 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 15}} \cr & \therefore {\text{Profit }}\% = \frac{{15}}{{1500}} \times 100 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 1\% {\text{ gain}} \cr} $$Related Questions on Profit and Loss
