A flat worth ₹9,50,000 is sold by Lakshman to Bharath at 8% profit. If Bharath sells it back to Lakshman at 3% loss, then find the gain/loss (in ₹) of Lakshman in the entire transaction?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Lakshman gains ₹45,220.

Lakshman sells at 8% profit:

Selling Price = ₹9,50,000 × 108100108\over100 = ₹10,26,000

Bharath sells at 3% loss:

Selling Price = ₹10,26,000 × 9710097\over100 = ₹9,95,220

Lakshman's net loss = 9,95,220 – 9,50,000 = ₹45,220
