Solution:

(b) Quantity

A=S P

of book sold by Amit

⇒ {SP}= {CP} ×(\;{100 ± \;\text " Profit "\; \/ {Loss}}/{100})

⇒ {SP}=56.25 ×(\;{100+20}/{100})

=56.25 × \;{120}/{100}

⇒ {SP}=56.25 × \;{6}/{5}=\;{337.50}/{5}

∴ {SP}=

₹

67.50

Quantity

B=S P

of book sold by Rita

⇒ {SP} \;\; = {CP} ×(\;{100 ₹ \;\text " Profit "\; \/ {\Loss}}/{100})

⇒ {SP} \;\; =80.40 ×(\;{100-5}/{100})

⇒ {SP} \;\; =80.40 × \;{95}/{100}

\;\; =80.40 × \;{19}/{20}=\;{1527.60}/{20}

∴ {SP} \;\; = {F} 76.38

From above, it is clear that Quantity B

>

Quantity A
