Step-by-step explanation:

Take cost price of one book = x

Then cost of another book = 1040 - x

He sold one at 15% loss & another at 36% profit , then he found selling price of each book is same

x × (85/100) = (1040-x) × 136/100

5x = 8320 - 8x

13x = 8320

x = Rs. 640

1040 - x = 1040 - 640 = Rs. 400
