Solution

The correct option is A $0$
Let $x$ and $y$ be the $C P$ of $1^{s t}$ bicycle and $2^{n d}$ bicycle respectively
Profit % on $1^{s t} b i c y c l e = 50$ %
$∴ 150$ % of $x = 15, 000$
$x = 10000$
$C P_{1} = R s . 10000 . . . . (i)$
Loss % on $2^{n d} b i c y c l e = 25$ %
$75$ % of $y = 15000$
$y = 20000$
$C P_{2} = R s . 20000$
Total $C P = R s . (20000 + 10000) = R s . 30000$
$S P = R s . 15000 \times 2 = R s . 30, 000$
$∵ C P = S P$ (No profit, No Loss).
