(A) First,calculate the Cost Price $(C.P.)$ of $80$ ball pens.Given that selling $80$ pens for $₹ 140$ results in a $30 \%$ loss,the selling price is $70 \%$ of the $C.P.$$C.P. = 140 	imes \frac{100}{70} = ₹ 200$.Now,to make a profit of $30 \%$,the new selling price $(S.P.)$ for $80$ pens must be:$S.P. = 200 	imes \frac{130}{100} = ₹ 260$.This means $80$ ball pens are sold for $₹ 260$ to gain $30 \%$.To find how many pens can be sold for $₹ 104$:Number of pens $= \frac{80}{260} 	imes 104 = \frac{8}{26} 	imes 104 = 8 	imes 4 = 32$.Therefore,the retailer should sell $32$ ball pens.

By selling $80$ ball pens for $₹ 140$,a retailer loses $30 \%$. How many ball pens should he sell for $₹ 104$ so as to make a profit of $30 \% ?$
