1. A man sells 2 commodities for Tk. 4000 each, neither losing nor gaining in the deal. If he sold one commodity at a gain 25% then what is the cost price of another commodity?

  • A. Tk.3200
  • B. Tk.3200
  • C. Tk.3200
  • D. Tk.3200

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Total S.P. = Tk. 8000 and
Total C.P. = Tk. 8000
S.P. of 1st commodity = Tk. 4000
Gain on it = 25%

∴ C.P. of 1st commodity = Tk. {(100/125)×4000}

                                          = Tk. 3200
C.P. of 2nd commodity = Tk. (8000−3200) = Tk. 4800 Ans.
