please answer fast....................

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cp of sewing machine be Rs X

its sp at 16% gain = Rs [ X* 116/100] =Rs [58x /50]

And,its sp at 18%gain=Rs[X * 118/100]=Rs [59x/50]

But difference in two selling prices=Rs 32

Therefore, [59x/50] -[58x/50] =32

59x- 58x=32 multiple with 50

1x = Rs 1600
