Answer 2

Answer:

Cost Price of table = Rs 10000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say cost price = C   Rs

13/2 % profit =  {(13/2)/100} × C

= 13C/200   Rs

Selling Price = C + 13C/200

19% profit = (19/100) × C

= 19C/100

Selling Price = C + 19C/100

difference in Sell Price = Rs 1250

C + 19C/100  - C - 13C/200 = 1250

38C - 13C = 1250 × 200

25C = 1250 × 200

C = 50 × 200

C = 10000

Cost Price of table = Rs 10000
