The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the profit from the car and the loss from the bike, and then find the net gain or loss. ### Step 1: Calculate the Selling Price of the Car - **Cost Price of the Car (CP)** = ₹3,00,000 - **Profit Percentage** = 10% To find the profit in rupees: \[ \text{Profit} = \text{CP} \times \frac{\text{Profit Percentage}}{100} = 3,00,000 \times \frac{10}{100} = 30,000 \] Now, calculate the Selling Price (SP) of the car: \[ \text{SP of Car} = \text{CP} + \text{Profit} = 3,00,000 + 30,000 = 3,30,000 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Selling Price of the Bike - **Cost Price of the Bike (CP)** = ₹1,00,000 - **Loss Percentage** = 20% To find the loss in rupees: \[ \text{Loss} = \text{CP} \times \frac{\text{Loss Percentage}}{100} = 1,00,000 \times \frac{20}{100} = 20,000 \] Now, calculate the Selling Price (SP) of the bike: \[ \text{SP of Bike} = \text{CP} - \text{Loss} = 1,00,000 - 20,000 = 80,000 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Total Selling Price Now, we will find the total Selling Price from both the car and the bike: \[ \text{Total SP} = \text{SP of Car} + \text{SP of Bike} = 3,30,000 + 80,000 = 4,10,000 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Total Cost Price Now, we will find the total Cost Price: \[ \text{Total CP} = \text{CP of Car} + \text{CP of Bike} = 3,00,000 + 1,00,000 = 4,00,000 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Net Gain or Loss Finally, we will find the net gain or loss: \[ \text{Net Gain or Loss} = \text{Total SP} - \text{Total CP} = 4,10,000 - 4,00,000 = 10,000 \] Since the result is positive, it indicates a net gain. \[ \text{Net Gain} = ₹10,000 \] ### Summary of the Solution Mr. Mittal made a net gain of ₹10,000 after selling the car and the bike. ---
