Answer:
(a) The company sells 3,000 bags of white cement. So her profit \[=\text{3},000\times \text{8}=\] ` 24,000 Also, the company sells 5,000 bags of grey cement. So her loss \[=\text{5},000\times \text{5}=\] ` 25,000 Since \[\text{25},000>\text{24},000\] Therefore, company is in loss and the loss is \[25000-24000=\] ` 1000 (b) Let \['x'\] be the number of white cement bags sold. According to the question, we get \[x\times \text{8}=\text{64}00\times \text{5}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=\frac{6400\times 5}{8}=800\times 5=4,000\] bags Therefore, 4,000 bags of white cement must be sold to have neither profit nor loss.
