2 items are sold at same price d$.
One item is sold at gain of x%
Other item is sold at loss of x%
What is the overall loss%?
we can solve this by plugging the numbers.
Let the SP of each item be 120 and x=20%
First Item:
SP=120
This item is sold at the gain of 20%
-->CP=100
Second Item:
SP=120
This item is sold at the loss of 20%
-->CP=150
Total SP=240,Total CP=250
Total Loss=4%
By substituting x=20 in answer options verify which option satisfy the value[4%]
Option B
(20*20)/(100*100)=4%
Hope this clarify...
