    Solution

    ATQ, Let cost price = Rs x 25% profit SP = x + (25/100)x = (125/100)x = (5/4)x 35% profit SP = x + (35/100)x = (135/100)x = (27/20)x Difference in selling prices = 60 тЗТ (27/20)x тИТ (5/4)x = 60 Convert (5/4)x to denominator 20: (5/4)x = (25/20)x So, (27/20)x тИТ (25/20)x = (2/20)x = (1/10)x (1/10)x = 60 тЗТ x = 600
