Shubham sells two articles first on 20% loss and 2nd on 60% profit. Find their selling price of the article which is sold at 60% profit if the difference of their cost price is ₹3200 and the selling price of both the articles is same. |
₹4900 ₹5260 ₹5120 ₹4980 |
₹5120 |
Let the CP of two articles is x (which is sold at 20% loss) and y (which is sold at 60% profit) ATQ, SP of both are same; ⇒ x × 80% = y × 160% ⇒ x = 2y ⇒ x : y = 2 : 1 Here, ⇒ y - x = 3200 ⇒ 2R - 1R = 3200 ⇒ 1R = 3200 ⇒ CP1 (y) = 3200 and CP2 (x) = 6400 ⇒ SP (at 60% profit) = 3200 × \(\frac{160}{100}\) = 5120 |
