  1. The company sells 3000 bags of white cement. So their profit
    = 3000 {tex}\times{/tex} 8 = Rs. 24000
    Also, the company sells 5000 bags of grey cement. So her profit
    = 5000 {tex}\times{/tex} 5 = Rs. 25000
    Since 25000 > 24000
    Therefore, the company is in a loss and the loss is
    25000 – 24000 = Rs. 1000
  2. Let 'x' be the number of white cement bags sold.
    According to the question, we get
    x {tex}\times{/tex} 8 = 6400 {tex}\times{/tex} 5
    {tex}\therefore{/tex}  x = {tex}\frac{6400 \times 5}{8}{/tex} = 800 {tex}\times{/tex} 5 = 4000 bags
    Therefore, 4000 bags of white cement must be sold to have neither profit nor loss.
