Question

On selling a chair at 7% loss and a table at 17% gain, a man gains Rs.296.
If he sells the chair at 7% gain and the table at 12% gain, then he gains Rs.400.
The actual price of the table is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 2400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the actual price of chair and table be C and T respectively,

then, according to question,

from 1st case,

T×(17/100)-C×(7/100) =296

17T - 7C = 29600   ---------1

and, from 2nd case,

C×(7/100) + T×(12/100) = 400

12T + 7C = 40000   ---------2

adding eq 1  and eq 2 we get,

29T = 69600

T = Rs 2400
