Answer:
2000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the CP1 of Table = 100x
Initial SP1 = 100x + 10% of 100x = 100x + 10x = 110x
Now, If He brought table at 5% discount. Therefore CP2 = 95x
Now SP2 = 95x + 20% of 95x = 95x + 17x =114x
According to question
SP2 - SP1 = 80
⇒ 114x - 110x = 80
⇒ 4x = 80
⇒ x = 20
Initial Cost of table = 100 × 20 = Rs. 2000
