A toy manufacturer produced 1200 toy cars at a total cost of ₹90,000. He donated 200 cars to a charity event. For the rest, he announced a 10% discount on the market price of ₹120 per car. He also offered 2 toy cars free for every 8 toy cars purchased. If all 1200 toy cars were distributed, what is his overall gain or loss percentage?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. 4% lossA. 4% हानि
Explanationव्याख्या
Remaining cars after charity:
Therefore, out of every 10 cars distributed, payment is received for 8.
Effective paid cars: = 1000 × 8
दान के बाद बची कारें: = 1200 − 200 = 1000 For every 8 cars purchased, 2 are free.
प्रत्येक 8 कार खरीदने पर 2 मुफ्त हैं।
इसलिए प्रत्येक 10 वितरित कारों में केवल 8 कारों का भुगतान मिलता है।
(8 + 2) = 800 Selling price per car after 10% discount: 10% छूट के बाद प्रति कार विक्रय मूल्य: = ₹120 − 10% of ₹120 = ₹108 Total revenue:
कुल विक्रय राशि: = 800 × ₹108 = ₹86,400 Loss: = ₹90,000 − ₹86,400 = ₹3,600 Loss %: = (3,600 ÷ 90,000) × 100 = 4% Hence, the correct answer is 4% loss.
अतः सही उत्तर 4% हानि है।
