    Solution

    According to the question Let the cost price of each mobile, each watch, and each tablet be Rs. тАШvтАЩ Selling price of each mobile = (320/4) = Rs. 80 Selling price of each watch = (960/16) = Rs. 60 According to the question, (80тАУv)/v├Ч100=iтАжтАж (I) Also, (60тАУv)/v├Ч100=jтАжтАж (II) Dividing equation (I) by (II), we get (80тАУv)/(60тАУv)=i/j Or, (80тАУv)/(60тАУv)=i/6i Or, 480vтАУ6v=60тАУv Or, 5v=60 Or, v=10 Therefore, the cost price of all the tablets = Rs. 8v = Rs. 80 Required profit = 480 тАУ 80 = Rs. 400
