Answer 1

☆Answer☆

Given

Cost Price of two watches = Rs. 2160

One sold at profit of 15%.

Other sold at loss of 9%.

Solution

Let the CP of 1st watch be 'x'

then CP of 2nd watch will be '2160-x'

Now,

Profit on 1st watch = Loss on 2nd watch

15% of x = 9% of (2160-x)

(15/100) × x = (9/100)× (2160-x)

On further solving, we get:-

x = 810

Hence,

CP of 1st watch = Rs.810

CP of 2nd watch = Rs. (2160-810) = Rs. 1350
