  1. A car and a jeep were sold for $ 121000 each. The car was sold at a loss of 20% while the jeep at a gain of 20%. The entire transaction resulted in
    1. neither loss nor gain
    2. gain of $ 1000
    3. loss of $ 10000
    4. gain of $ 500
Correct Option: C

Given in question , Total SP of car and jeep = 240000

CP of car = $100× 120000= $ 150000
80

CP of jeep = $100 × 120000 = $ 100000
120

Total CP = 150000 + 100000 = $ 250000
∴ Loss = Total CP - Total SP
∴ Loss = (250000 – 240000) = $ 10000
