Cost Price of 1st Article = Rs 3000 , If Two articles sold or Rs 7000 , one with 20% gain and 2nd with 15% loss. in Whole no profit , no loss
Step-by-step explanation:
A person sold 2 articles for Rs.7000
=> selling Price of both = Rs 7000
on whole there was no profit and no loss.
=> Cost Price of Both = Rs 7000
Cost Price of 1st = C
Then Cost Price of 2nd = 7000 - C
Gain on 1st = (20/100)C = 0.2C
Loss on 2nd = (15/100)(7000 - C) = 1050 - 0.15C
Loss = Gain
0.2C = 1050 - 0.15C
=> 0.35C = 1050
=> C = 3000
Cost Price of 1st Article = Rs 3000
