Detailed Solution

 Concept- We'll determine the cost of the motorcycle and scooter after determining the profit and loss calculation formula. The entire cost price will then be calculated, and the selling price will be contrasted with it. We can refer to an outcome as a profit or a loss depending on whether the cost price is less than the selling price.
Given: For Motorcycle i) Selling Price (SP)= Rs. 12,000
ii) Loss %= 20%  
Question ImageFor Scooter i) Selling Price (SP)= Rs. 12,000
