      Solution

      Let the Cost Price for Axe and Wye be x SP for both Axe and Wye = 72000 CP for Zed = 72000 (1 Bike) Profit for Axe = A% Profit for Wye = B% = 412/3% A = A ├Ч125/(3 ├Ч100) = A ├Ч 5/12 Now, the amount of profit for Axe and Wye is same Therefore, x ├Ч A/100 = 72000 ├Ч A ├Ч 5/12 ├Ч1/100 x = 30000 Cost price for Axe and Wye is 30000 For Axe : CP = 30000┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а SP = 72000 Profit = 72000 тАУ 30000 = 42000 Profit % for Axe = 42000/30000 ├Ч 100 = 140% For Zed :┬а CP = 72000┬а ┬а ┬а ┬аProfit = 72000 ├Ч 140% = 100800 SP = 100800 + 72000 = 172800 Therefore, Cost price for Pee = 172800
