A shopkeeper bought two TV sets at Rs. 10000 each. He sold one at a profit of 10% and the other at a loss of 10 %. Find whether he made an overall profit or loss ?

 Cost price of a T.V set =Rs 10000

profit=10%

Selling price=[100+p/100] x C.P

                      =[100+10/100] x 10000

                      =110/100 x10000

                       =11 x 1000

                       =Rs 11000

                  _______________

      Loss=10%

 selling price =[100-L /100] x C.P

                        =100-10/100 x10000

                       =90/100 x 10000

                        =9 x 1000

                       =9000

                     __________

total cost price= 10000+10000

                           =20000

total selling price =11000+9000

                                =20000

Here C.P=S.P

Therefore ,it is neither Loss nor Profit.

hope this helps you
