Answer 1

Rahim's SP 14490.
 Rahim's CP = (100/105)x14490 = 13800.

Rajesh's SP = Rahim's CP = 13800.
Rajesh's CP = (100/92)x13800 = 15000.

Answer 2

Given :

→ Raj sold his scooter to rahim at 8% loss and Rahim in turn sold the same scooter to prem at 5% gain. If prem paid ₹14490 for the scooter.

Find :

(a) The S.P and C.P of the scooter for Rahim.

(b) The S.P and C.P of the scooter for Raj.

Using formula :

★ C.P = 100/(100 + Profit℅) S.P

Calculation :

= 100/(100 + 5) 14490

= 13800

Hence, 13800 would be the cost price of Rahim.

= 100/(100 - 8) 13800

= 15000

→ hence, 15000 would be the cost price of Raj.

Therefore ,

→ CP, SP of Rahim: 13800, 14900.

→ CP, SP of Raj: 15000, 13800.
