Let the cost of chair be x
given : the desk costs 12%more than chair
=> cost of desk =( 12x /100 ) + x
X + (12X / 100 ) + X = ₹371
2X + 12X/100 = ₹371
(200X + 12X)÷100 = ₹371
212X = 371×100
X = 37100 ÷ 212
X = 175
cost of chair(x)=₹175
cost of desk ( x + 12 % of x )
=175+12%of 175
= 175 + 21
= ₹196
