    A costs twice as much as B. A is sold at a loss of 15%

    and B is sold at 5/4th of its price. If selling price of A is Rs. 1350 more than selling price of B, what is the cost price of A?
    A 3500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 6000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 4000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 5000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the CP of B be 100x. CP of A = 2 × 100x = 200x Now SP of A = 85% of 200x = 170x And SP of B = 100x × 5/4 = 125x According to question, => 170x – 125x = 1350 => x = 30 CP of A = 200x = 200 × 30 = Rs. 6000
