A person bought two tables for Rs. 1300. He sold one table at gain of 40% & the other at loss of 12.5%. If he sold at same price, what is cost price of table which was sold at 12.5% loss ?

Answer»

Rs. 800



Let the cost PRICE of first table be and that of second be y
X + y = 1300 ......(I)
x + x x 40/100 = y - y x 25/100
∴ 140x/100 = 175y/200
8X = 5y ......(II)
From eqn (I) & (II),
x = 500 and y = 800
