A shopkeeper bought 5 watches for ₹6000. He sold each at ₹1100. Find the overall profit or loss percentage.
8% loss
8.33% loss
7.5% loss
6.67% loss
Answer: B
Solution: Total cost price = ₹6000. Total selling price \(=5\times1100\) = ₹5500. Loss \(=6000-5500\) = ₹500. Loss percentage \(=\frac{500}{6000}\times100=8.33\%\) approximately. Trick: Calculate the total cost price and total selling price before finding the loss percentage.
एक दुकानदार ने 5 घड़ियाँ ₹6000 में खरीदीं। उसने प्रत्येक घड़ी ₹1100 में बेची। कुल लाभ या हानि प्रतिशत ज्ञात कीजिए।
8% हानि
8.33% हानि
7.5% हानि
6.67% हानि
उत्तर: B
हल: कुल क्रय मूल्य = ₹6000। कुल विक्रय मूल्य \(=5\times1100\) = ₹5500। हानि \(=6000-5500\) = ₹500। हानि प्रतिशत \(=\frac{500}{6000}\times100\approx8.33\%\)। ट्रिक: हानि प्रतिशत निकालने से पहले कुल क्रय मूल्य और कुल विक्रय मूल्य ज्ञात करें।
