The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the transactions involving the house and the shop. ### Step 1: Understand the Selling Prices Both the house and the shop were sold for Rs. 1 lakh each. - Selling Price (SP) of the house = Rs. 1,00,000 - Selling Price (SP) of the shop = Rs. 1,00,000 ### Step 2: Calculate the Cost Price of the House The house was sold at a 20% loss. This means that the Selling Price is 80% of the Cost Price (CP). Let the Cost Price of the house be \( CP_H \). \[ SP_H = CP_H - 0.20 \times CP_H = 0.80 \times CP_H \] Substituting the Selling Price: \[ 1,00,000 = 0.80 \times CP_H \] Now, solve for \( CP_H \): \[ CP_H = \frac{1,00,000}{0.80} = 1,25,000 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Cost Price of the Shop The shop was sold at a 20% profit. This means that the Selling Price is 120% of the Cost Price (CP). Let the Cost Price of the shop be \( CP_S \). \[ SP_S = CP_S + 0.20 \times CP_S = 1.20 \times CP_S \] Substituting the Selling Price: \[ 1,00,000 = 1.20 \times CP_S \] Now, solve for \( CP_S \): \[ CP_S = \frac{1,00,000}{1.20} = 83,333.33 \] ### Step 4: Calculate Total Cost Price and Total Selling Price Now, we can calculate the total Cost Price (CP) and total Selling Price (SP) for both transactions. - Total Cost Price (CP) = \( CP_H + CP_S \) \[ Total \, CP = 1,25,000 + 83,333.33 = 2,08,333.33 \] - Total Selling Price (SP) = \( SP_H + SP_S \) \[ Total \, SP = 1,00,000 + 1,00,000 = 2,00,000 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Overall Profit or Loss To find the overall profit or loss, subtract the total Selling Price from the total Cost Price. \[ Loss = Total \, CP - Total \, SP \] \[ Loss = 2,08,333.33 - 2,00,000 = 8,333.33 \] ### Final Answer The entire transaction resulted in a loss of Rs. 8,333.33. ---
