Here's your answer Cost price of 1 pen = rs 20 Total CP = 20×2=40 rs ∆Let's take the case of 1st pen CP=20 rs Gain = 5% SP = 20×{100+5}÷100 SP =(20×105)÷100 SP=2100÷100 SP=21rs ∆Lets take the case of 2nd pen CP=20rs Loss=5% SP=20×(100-5)÷100 SP=20×95÷100 SP=1900÷100 SP=19 ¶ Total SP=19+21=40 ¶ Total CP = 40 CP=SP So,He neither had a loss not had a profit

Cost price of 1 pen = rs 20
Total CP = 20×2=40 rs
∆Let's take the case of 1st pen
CP=20 rs
Gain = 5%
SP = 20×{100+5}÷100
SP =(20×105)÷100
SP=2100÷100
SP=21rs
∆Lets take the case of 2nd pen
CP=20rs
Loss=5%
SP=20×(100-5)÷100
SP=20×95÷100
SP=1900÷100
SP=19
¶ Total SP=19+21=40
¶ Total CP = 40
CP=SP
So,He neither had a loss not had a profit
