    1. X gained $ 4,350
    2. Y lost $ 4,350
    3. X gained $ 3,150
    4. X lost $ 3,150
Correct Option: C

Given in question, SP for car = $ 1,50,000

SP for Mr. X = 150000 ×
( 100 + 5 )
= $ 157500
100

CP for Mr. Y = 157500
Y sells the article to X at a loss of 2%.
∴ SP for Mr. Y = 157500 ×
98

100

CP for Mr. X = $ 154350
∴ Gain of Mr. X = SP for Mr. X - CP for Mr. X
