Let S be original Sale Price and C be original Cost Price.

Profit of 50% can be given as follows:
(S - C)/C = 50/100

Solving this equation, we get the value of S as 3C/2 ----- (i)

In the next scenario we have the following equation:

[(S + 12) - (C + 32)] / (C + 32) = 10/100

Solving this we get the following equation:
10S - 168 = 9C -------- (ii)

Putting the value of S found in (i), we get C = 28

So the cost price of the article will be Rs. 28
