CP1 = 200

CP2 = 2805 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)

Let c.p. of 1st watch=Rs. x. Then c.p. of 2nd watch=Rs.(480-x)

A/q,

85% of x=119% of (480-x)

Solving we get,x=Rs.280

So, c.p of 1st watch= Rs. 280 and c.p of 2nd watch=Rs.(480-280)=Rs. 200.10 Months agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0) (119/100)CP1=CP2(85/100) (since both sp are equal)

cp1+cp2=480

cp1=cp1

cp2=cp1(119/85)

by solving we get

cp1=200;

cp2=280;

here we use the formulae

cp=(100/(100+g)100)sp

for loss replace + with - and g with l5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(3)
