  1. x and y can be equal to 1..
    If so,then he gets 1/1 of Rs.10 which is equal to 10 and
    again 1/1 of Rs.10=Rs.10..so,he gets total of 20..and
    returns 20..so,no gain and no loss..
    If x=1,y=2,he gets, 5+20=25..and returns 20..so he may not
    lose..
    So,whatever be the values of x and y,only these two answers
    are possible..
    so its a)He never loses..

  2. He is returning 20 rupees back so, after the 10x/y he should
    have less than 30 to lose. and equal to 30 to no loss and gain
    more than 30 for gain….
    so our 10x/y = 30 => no loss and gain
    > => gain
    < => loss
