    D Rs 6,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let, the cost price of each cycle = Rs. x Marked price of the first cycle = Rs. 1.8x Selling price of the first cycle = 1.8x × 0.60 = Rs. 1.08x Marked price of the second cycle = Rs. 1.6x Selling price of the second cycle = 1.6x × 0.70 = Rs. 1.12x According to question: 1.08x + 1.12x – 2x = 1000 0.20x = 1000 x = 5000 So the selling price of the first cycle = 1.08 × 5000 = Rs. 5,400
