Question:
A vegetable vendor sold half of his stock at 20% profit, half of the remaining at 20% loss and the rest was sold at the cost price. In the total transaction, his gain or loss will be?
Options:
A) Neither loss, nor gain
B) 5% loss
C) 5% gain
D) 10% gain
Solution:

Let C.P. of whole be Rs. x.

C.P. of 1/2 stock = Rs. x/2

C.P. of 1/4 stock = Rs. x/4

Total SP = Rs. [(120% of x/2) + (80% of x/4) + x/4]

= Rs. (3x/5 + x/5 + x/4) = Rs. 21x/20

Gain = Rs. (21x/20 - x) = Rs. x/20

Gain% = (x/20 × 1/x × 100)% = 5%
