    Solution

    ATQ, The ratio between the cost price of product G and H is 8:7 respectively. Let’s assume the cost price of product G and H is 8v and 7v respectively. Each of the products was marked 25% above its cost price. 8v of (100+25)% = 7v of (100+25)% + 1000 8v x 1.25 = 7v x 1.25 + 1000 1.25(8v - 7v) = 1000 v x 1.25 = 100 v x 1.25 = 1000 v = 1000 / 1.25 v = 800 Sum of the cost price of both of the products = 8v + 7v = 15v = 15 x 800 = Rs.12000
