SSC GD Constable 6 Feb 2025 Shift 1 Paper

Overall loss percent $=($ Profit $\%\times$ Loss $\%)∕100$
Solution:
Let the selling price (SP) of each dog be ₹100.
For the first dog (22\% profit):
Cost Price $\left(\mathit{C}\mathit{P}\right)=\left(100\times 100\right)∕122=10000∕122$
For the second dog (22\% loss):
Cost Price $\left(\mathit{C}\mathit{P}\right)=\left(100\times 100\right)∕78=10000∕78$
Total Selling Price $=100+100=\mathit{₹}200$
Total Cost Price $=10000∕122+10000∕78$
$=\left(780000+1220000\right)∕9516$
$=2000000∕9516\approx 210.2$
Loss $=210.2-200=10.2$
Loss Percentage $=\left(10.2∕210.2\right)\times 100\approx 4.84\%$
