Question

A man bought 2 TV sets for ₹42500.she told one at a loss of 10%.if the selling pricebof each TV set is the same , determine the cp if the same❓

Answer 1

Total cost of 2 TV sets = ₹42500

​Let the cost of First TV set be x

Then,

Cost of second TV set = ₹(42500-x)

Selling price of First TV set = x + 10% of x

                                             = 110x/100

Selling price of second TV set = (42500-x) - 10% of (42500-x)

                                                 = 90(42500-x)/100

S.P of First TV set = S.P of Second TV set

.: 110x/100 = 90(42500-x)/100

 11x = 9(42500-x)

        = 382500 - 9x

 20x = 382500

     x = 19125 

Cost Price of First set = ₹19125

​Cost Price of Second set = ₹23375
