Answer 2

The cost price of each saree would be Rs. 2100 and Rs.1400 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Selling price of two sarees = Rs. 3360

Loss % = 10%

Profit % = 20%

Selling price of  each saree is given by

$\dfrac{3360}=Rs.\ 1680$

So, Cost price of saree at loss would be

$\dfrac{100}{100-10}\times 1680\\\\=\dfrac{100}{80}\times 1680\\\\=Rs.\ 2100$

Cost price of saree at profit would be

$\dfrac{100}{100+20}\times 1680\\\\=\dfrac{100}{120}\times 1680\\\\=Rs.\ 1400$

Hence, the cost price of each saree would be Rs. 2100 and Rs.1400 respectively.
