Let the C.P. of item A be x

Then C.P. of item B =x+200

Selling price of Item A = x+

100

20

x=

5

6

× x

Selling price of item B = (x+200)−

100

30

(x+200)=

10

7

× (x+200)

Also S.P of A : S.P. of B = 6:7

Thus ,

6

× x :

10

7

× (x+200) = 6:7

Solving we get x=200

So Cost Price of B =400
