Correct Answer - Option 2 : 4 % loss
Given:
A shopkeeper sells two tables at Rupees 1500 each
Calculation:
Let be assume the cost of tables X and Y respectively
⇒ X × 1.2 = 1500, X = 1250
⇒ Y × 0.8 = 1500, Y = 1875
⇒ The required (loss/profit)% = (1500 + 1500)/(1250 + 1875) × 100 = 96%
⇒ The loss % = 100 - 96 = 4%
∴ The required result will be 4%.
