Step-by-step explanation:

1)consider the cp to be =Rs x

so gain %= gain/cp *100

             20= gain/x *100

            gain= 20x/100

so sp will be= cp+gain= Rs x+ 20x/100= Rs 120x/100 or 12x/10

2)so now new sp= Rs 12x/10+1000

and sp = gain+cp

12x/10+1000= gain + x

gain= 12x/10-x+1000

= 2x/10 +1000

new gain %= gain/cp *100

  20= 2x/10 + 1000/ x*100

on solving we get x which is the ans..
