  1. A house worth Rs. 1,50,000 is sold by X to Y at 5% profit. Y sells the house back to X at 2% loss. Then in the entire transaction :
    1. X gains Rs. 3150
    2. X loses Rs. 4350
    3. X loses Rs. 1350
    4. X gains Rs. 4350
Correct Option: A

On the basis of above given question ,
at 5% profit ,

C.P. for Y =
150000 × 105
= Rs. 157500
100

S.P. for Y at 2% loss =
157500 × 98
= Rs. 154350
100

∴ X’s gain = S.P. for Y - C.P. for Y
∴ X’s gain = Rs. (157500 – 154350)
= Rs. 3150
