    Solution

    ATQ,

    let SP of B = x, SP of A = y MP(A) = (x тИТ 80) MP(B) = 1.6y (x тИТ 80) / 1.6y = 1/2 тЗТ 2x тИТ 160 = 1.6y тЗТ x тИТ 0.8y = 80 ...(I) Also, x тИТ y = 40 ...(II) Subtracting: (II) тИТ (I) тЗТ тИТ0.2y = тИТ40 тЗТ y = 200 Then x = 240 Discount on B = 1.6y тИТ x = 320 тИТ 240 = Rs. 80
