A man bought certain number of litches at 20 per Rs 100 and an equal no. of 30 per
Rs 100. He mixed them and sold them at
25
per Rs 100. Find his
gain or loss
percent?

   The loss is 4%  

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call litches that are 20 pcs per Rs 100  - litches A

that are 30 pcs per Rs 100- litches B

So a man can buy 2 pcs A per Rs 10

and 3 pcs B per Rs 10

OR

6x  pcs  A per  Rs  30x  

and 6x  pcs  B  per  Rs  20x

Now he gonna sell the 12x  litches  for y Rs

Lets find y from the proportion

12x  cost y

25   cost 100

y/12=100/25

y=48  Rs

So the man bought 6x A + 6x B  for 20x+30x=50 Rs

And then he sold them for 48 Rs

Obviously the man gonna loose the money.

Lets find the losses in %

(50-48)/50*100=200/50=4%

The loss is 4%
