ATQ, The ratio between the cost price of book I and book J is 4:3 respectively. Let’s assume the cost price of book I and book J is 4u and 3u respectively. Each of the books was marked 20% above its cost price. 4u of (100+20)% = 3u of (100+20)% + 480 4u x 1.2 = 3u x 1.2 + 480 1.2(4u - 3u) = 480 u x 1.2 = 480 u = 480 / 1.2 u = 400 Sum of the cost price of both of the books = 4u + 3u = 7u = 7 x 400 = Rs.2800
