The sum of the cost prices of A and B is ₹1200, The sum of the selling prices of A and B is ₹1390. If the profits earned on A and B are 10% and 20%. respectively, then what is the ratio of the cost prices of A and B? |
5 : 7 5 : 9 7 : 13 6 : 11 |
5 : 7 |
Let the cost price of A be x The cost price of B = 1200 - x x × 110% + (1200 - x) × 120% = 1390 1440 - 10x % = 1390 10 × x% = 50 x = 500 Cost price of A = x = Rs. 500 Cost price of B = 1200 - x = Rs. 700 Cost price of A : Cost price of B = 500 : 700 = 5 : 7 |
