Answer 1

c.p= 1850+150
s.p= 105/100*2000
=2100

Answer 2

Answer:

He have sold it for Rs. 2100 to get 5% profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

S.P. of Sofa set = Rs.1850

Loss = Rs.150

CP = SP +Loss

CP = 1850+150 =Rs.2000

Now we are given that profit is 5%

So, Profit = $5\% \times CP$

               = $\frac{5}{100}\times 2000$

               = $100$

So, S.P. = C.P. +Profit

S.P. = 2000 +100

S.P. = 2100

Hence he have sold it for Rs. 2100 to get 5% profit.
