Answer 1

Answer:

25000

Step-by-step explanation:Let MP=x ,CP=y

case-1

MP=SP

[x-y]=40%of y

[x-y]=0.4y

x=1.4y --------------[i]

case-2

SP=MP-10%of MP = x-o.1x=0.9x

[SP-CP]=P

[o.9x-y]=6500

[0.9*1.4y-y]=6500

[1.26y-y]=6500

0.26y=6500

y=25000

Therefore, the cost price of the computer was RS25000
