A(iii) 39100

B(iii)17000

Answer 2

Given: Selling price of TV set = Rs. 19,550

           Profit on TV = 15%

           Selling price of Refrigerator = Rs. 19,550

           Loss on Refrigerator = 15%

To find:  a) Total Cost price of TV set and Refrigerator

              b) C.P. of TV set

Solution: According to the given problem,

S.P. of TV set = Rs. 19,550

Profit = 15%

Using the formula to calculate C.P. when S.P. and profit % is given

.: C.P. = $\frac{100}{100 + GainPercentage}$ × S.P.

         = $\frac{100}{100 + 15}$ × 19,550

         = 100/115 × 19,550

         = Rs. 17,000

C.P. of TV set = Rs. 17,000

Similarly, for Refrigerator

S.P. of Refrigerator = Rs. 19,550

Loss = 15%

Using the formula to calculate C.P. when S.P. and loss % is given

.: C.P. = $\frac{100}{100 - LossPercentage}$ × S.P.

         = $\frac{100}{100 - 15}$ × 19,550

         = 100/85 × 19,550

         = Rs. 23,000

C.P. of Refrigerator = Rs. 23,000

a) Total C.P. of TV set and Refrigerator = C.P. of TV set + C.P. of Refrigerator

                                                                 = Rs. 17,000 + Rs. 23,000

                                                                 = Rs. 40,000

b) The C.P. of TV set = Rs. 17,000
