    Solution

    ATQ, Let the cost price of article ‘Table fan’ and article ‘Ceiling fan’ be Rs. ‘100a’, each Marked price of article ‘Table fan’ = 100a + 100a × 0.35 = Rs. ‘135a’ Marked price of article ‘Ceiling fan’ = 100a + 100a × 52 = Rs. ‘152a’ Selling price of article ‘Table fan’ = 135a – 135a × 0.2 = 135a – 27a = Rs. ‘108a’ Selling price of article ‘Ceiling fan’ = 152a – 152a × 0.5 = 152a – 38a = Rs. ‘114a’ According to question: 114a – 108a = 180 Or, 6a = 180 Or, a = 30 Selling price of article ‘Table fan’ = 108 × 30 = Rs. 3,240
