A shopkeeper sells one transistor for Rs. 840 at a gain of 20% and another for Rs. 960 at a loss of 4%. His total gain or loss percent is:
(a)515/17%
(b)516/17%
(c)517/15%
(d)615/17%
Answer is: ACP of 1st transistor = Rs. (100/120 X 840) = Rs. 700
CP of 2nd transistor = Rs. (100/96 X 960) = Rs. 1000
So, total CP = Rs. (700 + 1000) = Rs. 1700
Total SP = Rs. (840 + 960) = Rs. 1800
∴ Gain % = (100/1700 X 100)% = 515/17%

A trader mixes 26 kg of rice at Rs. 20 per kg with 30 kg of rice of other variety at Rs. 36 per kg and sells the mixture at Rs. 30 per kg. His profit percent is:
(a)3%
(b)4%
(c)5%
(d)6%
Answer is: CLet, CP of 56 kg rice = Rs. (26 X 20 + 30 X 36) = Rs. (520 + 1080) = Rs. 1600.
SP of 56 kg rice = Rs. (56 X 30) = Rs. 1680.
∴ Gain % = (80/1600 X 100)% = 5%
