Alam sold two vehicles for Tk. 46000 each . If he gained 10% on the first and lost 10% on another , then what is his percentage profit or loss in this transaction?

  • A. 2% loss
  • B. 2% loss
  • C. 2% loss
  • D. 2% loss

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the profit be X% & loss be Y%.
So, net profit/loss % = X + ( - Y) + X.( - Y)/100 (Negative sign denotes that there is a loss.) = 10 + ( - 10) + 10.( - 10)/100 = - 1 (Negative sign denotes that there is a net loss.)
So, the net loss percentage is 1%.
