    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the original cost price of gadget be Rs. 100m.

    We have, 1.30 × 100m = Rs. 130m

    ATQ:

    (130m + 750) = 1.45 × (100m - 1,500)

    → 130m + 750 = 145m - 2,175

    → 15m = 2,925

    → m = 195

    Original cost price = 195 × 100 = Rs. 19,500

    Marked price = 19,500 + 3,500 = Rs. 23,000

    Selling price after 10% discount = 0.90 × 23,000 = Rs. 20,700

    Profit = 20,700 - 19,500 = Rs. 1,200
