Solution

Investment amount = Rs 600000
On 1st year the loss in ist year = 5%
So, investment in 1st year $= 600000 - \frac{5}{100} \times 600000 = 600000 - 30000 = R s . 570000$
In 2nd year, the gain is 10%
So, net investment $= 570000 + \frac{10}{100} \times 570000 = 570000 + 57000 = R s . 627000$
