  1. A dealer buys an article marked at ₹ 25,000 with 20% and 5% off. He spends ₹ 1,000 for its
    repair and sells it for ₹ 25,000. What is his gain or loss per cent?
    1. Loss of 25%
    2. Gain of 25%
    3. Gain of 10%
    4. Loss of 10%
Correct Option: B

Equivalent discount = 20 + 5 −
20 × 5
% = 24%
100

∴  CP of article = ₹ 25000 ×
76
= ₹ 19000
100

Repairs cost = ₹ 1000
∴  Actual CP = 19000 +1000 = ₹ 20000
SP = ₹ 25000
Profit = 25000 –20000 = ₹ 5000
∴  Gain% =
5000
× 100 = 25%
20000
