A company produced 1500 units at a total cost of ₹1,20,000. It donated 300 units to an NGO. For the rest, it announced a 15% discount on the market price of ₹110 per unit. It also offered 3 units free for every 10 units purchased. If all 1500 units were distributed, what is the overall gain or loss percentage?

  1. 25% loss
  2. 15% profit
  3. 28.08% loss
  4. 36.6% profit
Show answer & explanation

Answer: (C) 28.08% loss

Explanation

The 1200 units sold at ₹93.5 (15% off ₹110) with 3 free per 10 bought means only 10/13 are paid: about 923.08 units → ₹86,308 revenue. Loss = 33,692/1,20,000 ≈ 28.08%.
