if a man sells 2 similar items one with x% profit and another with x% loss then surely there would be a " loss" and the loss is:(common %/10)^2. so get the answer! refer r.s. agarwal book for this formula!

hi..

there is a very tricky formula to creck suck types of que regarging profit and loss.

for profit:take + sign
for loss :take - sign

formula:a+b+ab/100

now according to que

a=+20
b=-20

ans=-20+20-20*20/100
     =-4%
since - sign is comming means loss of 4%

you can test it at any que it always works.
