[HELP]

1)a man goes to a seller buys a cow for 600 bugs....sells the same to other buyer for 700 bugs...then he buys the same cow frm the buyer in 800 bugs and sells the cow to first seller in 900 bugs.... how much is the profit for him....do explain the logic

[anitha.s]

there is no profit to him . when seller sells he got 100 bugs profit. but when he buys for 800 bugs, he loss 100 bugs. when he selles again for 900 bugs, his gain is 100 bugs. but it equals his loss. so no profit to him

[jgogineni]

by doing the logic he gained 100 bugs.but he sold to the first man from whom he buyed for 600 and sold to him for 900.so he may have profit.

hi,
thats what i am saying u go through first sentence.allover i am thinking that he got profit

[annu_itech]

No profit..
since first time he buys the cow for 600/- and sells it for 700/-
got a profit of 100/-

Now he is having 700 Rs in hand, and after putting 100/- extra he buys the cow for 800 Rs, so here 100/- loss,
then he sell the cow for 900/- where in he has got 100/- profit which compensate for 100/- loss during the last transaction, so he is having no profit in the entire business transaction.

[romeovictor04]

fine he has a profit of 200/-

goes to the market with 600/-
takes a loan of 100/-
finally gets 900/-
pay back the loan.
remaining 800/-
so profit = 800 - 600 = 200/-

hey supriya the sol: is 100 bugs of profit..
as during the first 2 operations the gain and the profit of +100,,....-100 gets equalized..
and during the third operation of selling the cow of 800 for 900 to the first seller.. letz him gain of 100 bugs.. im correct....
