should be 4% loss

Question:
A house and a shop were sold for Rs. 1 lakh each. In this transaction, the house sale resulted into 20% whereas the shop sale into 20% profit. The entire transaction resulted in : 
Options:
A) neither loss nor gain
B) gain of Rs. \(\cfrac{1}{24}\) lakh
C) loss of Rs. \(\cfrac{1}{12}\) lakh
D) loss of Rs. \(\cfrac{1}{18}\) lakh
Solution:
Ans: (c) S.P. of house = Rs. 1 lakh

Loss percent = 20%

C.P. of house = Rs. \(\cfrac{5}{4}\) lakh

S.P. of shop = Rs.1 lakh

Profit percent = 20%

C.P. of house = Rs. \(\cfrac{5}{6}\) lakh

Total C.P. = \(\left ( \cfrac {5}{6} + \cfrac{5}{4} \right )\) =  \(\cfrac{25}{12}\) lakh

Total S.P. = 1 + 1 = 2 lakh

Loss = \(\left ( \cfrac {25}{12} - 2 \right )\) = \(\cfrac{1}{12}\)  lakh
