A man buys two cycles for a total cost of Rs.900. By selling one cycle for 4/5 of its cost and the other for 5/4 of its cost, he makes a profit of Rs.90 on the whole transaction. Find the cost price of each cycle.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of both cycles equal =900

cost of one bicycle equals to 4/5 of its cost

=4/5×900

=4×180=720

cost of second bicycle =5/4×900

5/4×900

5×225=1125

profit he make on the whole transaction =90

profit done on one bicycle =90÷2=45

cause of first bicycle equals to =720+45=765

cause of second bicycle =1125+45=1170
