HEY DEAR ...
Let the CP be Rs. x
Sp in case of loss = x - 8% of x
= 92/100 x
= 23/25 x
Sp in case of profit = x + 12% of x
= 112/100 x
= 28/25 x
ACCORDING TO QUESTION
SP in case of profit - Sp in case of loss = 150
=> 28x / 25 - 23x / 25 = 150
=> 5/25 of x = 150
=> 1/5 of x = 150
=> x = 150 × 5
=> x = 750
COST PRICE = 750 Rs.
SELLING PRICE = 23/25 of CP { as discussed above }
= 23/25 × 750
=> 23 × 30
=> Rs. 690
ANSWER = Rs. 690
