Answer 2

Answer:

Hey! mate

Here is ur answer::::::::::::::::::.

Let the CP of an article b Rs. X

SP of an article at a loss of 20%

= X× (100-20) / 100 = 80X / 100

SP of an article at a profit of 5 %

= X× (100 + 5 ) / 100 = 105 X / 100

According to the question ,

105X / 100 - 80X / 100 = 50

=> 25X / 100 => 50 => X= 50 × 100 / 25 = Rs. 200.

Rs. 200 is right answer...
