Solution

The correct option is A

Both the statements 1 & 2 are true


If an article is sold for more than it's cost, then it is said to have been sold at a profit.
Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price
i.e Profit = SP - CP
Profit is always calculated when (S.P > C.P)
A loss occurs when an item is sold for less than it's cost price.
Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price
i.e Loss = CP - SP​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​Loss is always calculated when (C.P > S.P)
