Solution: Selling Price of the first car: $26,000

=> This was sold at 30 percent profit. This means C.P. * \(\frac{130}{100}\) = 26,000.

=> C.P. of the first car: \(26,000\cdot\frac{100}{130}=20,000\)

=> C.P. of second car: 60 percent less than the C.P. of first car: \(20,000\cdot\frac{40}{100}=8,000\)

=> C.P. 1 = 20,000

=> S.P. 1 = 26,000

=> Profit 1 = 26,000 – 20,000 = 6,000

=> C.P. 2 = 8,000

=> Gain in second car: 20,000 – 8,000 = 12,000

=> Overall loss: 6,000 - 12,000 = -6,000

Therefore, B is the correct answer.

Answer B
