Question

A man bought $3$ cows for Rs. $3000$. He sold one at a loss of $20$% and the other a profit of $33.33$%and the third one at its cost price. The selling price of the cow which was sold at a loss was?

• A. Rs. $750$
• B. Rs. $800$
• C. Rs. $1,048$
• D. Rs. $2,048$

Answer 1

The correct option is B Rs. $800$

$C.P.$ of each cow$=\frac{3000}{3}=1000$

Loss on one of the cows$=20$% (negative)

$S.P=CP-Loss\times CP$

$S.P=1000-\frac{20}{100}\times 1000$

$S.P=800$

Selling price of the cow $=800$
