Solution: Selling Price of the first car: $16,000.

This was sold at a 20 percent loss. This means C.P. * \(\frac{80}{100}\) = 16,000.

C.P. of the first car: 16000 * \(\frac{100}{80}\) = 20,000

C.P. of second car: 40 percent less than the C.P. of first car: 20,000 * \(\frac{60}{100}\) = 12,000

=> C.P. 1 = 20,000

=> S.P. 1 = 16,000

=> Loss 1 = 20,000 – 16,000 = 4,000

=> C.P. 2 = 12,000

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

Overall gain: 8,000 – 4,000 = 4,000

Therefore, B is the correct answer.

Answer B
