Answer :
We denote white cement by WC and grey cement by GC and profit at +Rs while loss as -Rs.
Now, as per question
1 bag of WC = +Rs. 8 (profit)
1 bag of GC = -Rs.5 (loss)
a) 3000 bags of WC= +Rs.8 x 3000 = Rs. 24000 profit.
5000 bags of GC= -Rs.5 x 5000 = Rs. 25000 loss.
Hence, we have an overall loss of Rs. 1000.
b) As we know that a bag of GC gives us a loss of Rs.5, therefore on selling 6400 bags of GC we have a loss of Rs.5 x 6400 = Rs. 32000.
Let us assume that the company needs to get back the same amount in profit i.e Rs. 32000 to have neither profit nor loss by selling X bags of WC.
Each bag of WC gives a profit of Rs. 8
Therefore X bags will give a profit of Rs. 8X which is equal to Rs. 32000
Hence, 8X=32000
X=32000/8 = 4000
Therefore, company needs to sell a total of 4000 bags of WC to get themselves in a situation of no profit no loss.
I hope this helps you.
