Question

A man purchases 2 clocks A and B at total cost of ₹600. He sells clock A at 25%profit and clock B at a loss of 25% and gets the same SP for the clocks. Find the CP of clock A and clock B respectively.

Answer 1

let the cp of clock A is X
then cp of clock B is 600-X
now from question,
X × 125%=600-X × 75%
$\frac{125x}{100} = \frac{600 - x \times 75}{100} \\ 5x = 1800 - 3x$
8x=1800
x=1800/8
×=225
price of clock A= 225
price of clock B=600-225
=375

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

price of clock A= 225

price of clock B=600-225

=375
