Q. Mr.Mittal purchased a car for Rs. 3,00,000 and a bike for his son for Rs. 1,00,000. He sold the car at a profit of 10% and bike at a loss of 20%. What is the net gain or loss?

(A) 2% gain
(B) 1.5% loss
(C) 2.5% loss
(D) 2.5% gain

Correct Answer - Option(D)

Explanation by: Ravi Chauhan

Gain = 10% of 3,00,000 = 30000
Loss = 20% of 1,00,000 = 20000
Net gain = 10000 over Rs.4 lakh
Hence, profit = 10000/400000 x 100 = 2.5%
