Question
Selling price of article βAβ when sold at a profit
of 32% is Rs. 405 more than its selling price when sold at a loss of 40%. If the cost price of article βBβ is Rs. 81 more than that of βAβ, then find the cost price of article βBβ.Solution
Let the cost price of article βAβ = Rs. β100yβ Then, selling price of the article when it is sold at a profit of 32% = 1.32 Γ 100y = Rs. β132yβ And, selling price of the article when it is sold at a loss of 40% = 0.60 Γ 100y = Rs. β60yβ According to the question, 132y β 60y = 405 Or, y = (405/72) Or, y = 5.625 So, cost price of article βAβ = 100 Γ 5.625Β = Rs. 562.5 Therefore, cost price of article βBβ = 562.5Β + 81 = Rs. 643.5
