    Question

    Two vehicles, ‘E’ and ‘F’, were sold for Rs.

    5000 each. The profit gained on ‘E’ is equal to the loss incurred on ‘F’. If the cost price of ‘E’ is Rs. 2500 less than that of ‘F’, find the cost price of ‘E’.
    A Rs. 2200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 1100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 2500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 2000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price of vehicle ‘E’ be Rs. x

    Therefore, cost price of vehicle ‘F’ = Rs. (x + 2500)

    According to the question,

    5000 – x = x + 2500 – 5000

    Or, 2x = 5000

    Or, x = 2500

    Therefore, cost price of vehicle ‘E’ = Rs. 2500
