CP of 1st TV = 100/100+15 *6900 = 100/115 * 6900 = 20/23 * 6900 = 20*300 = 6000

Profit = SP-CP = 6900-6000 = 900

Loss on 2nd TV = 900

Loss percent = 10

Loss percent = Loss/CP * 100

10=900/CP*100

10=90000/CP

10*CP=90000

CP=90000/10=9000

When sold at a loss of 15%, selling price is 0.85*6800 = 5780.

This is the new cost price of the TV. Now in order to gain 12%, new selling price should be 1.12*5780 = 6473.6

shreya32457: the answer is 100% wrong ......agr loss hua hai to cost price 5.... and selling price 6.... something....is it possible no .....its wrong.....

srianubhav2907: Here's the correct explanation:

srianubhav2907: Let the CP be x

Then 0.85*x = 6800 (since it is sold at loss of 15%)
So, x= 6800/0.85 = 8000
Thus CP is 8000.
Now to gain 12% on CP, new SP be 1.12*8000 = 8960

shreya32457: hmm right.....
