plz mark me as brainlist

Step-by-step explanation:

In case 1,

when profit % = 4,

S.P = 156 Rupees

In case 2,

when profit % = 6,

S.P = 159 Rupees

Step by Step explanation -:

CASE 1

Let the C.P in this case be X,

given,

profit percent = 4%

Therefore,

Now,

S.P = C.P + P

so,

S.P = X + 4X/100

= (100 X + 4X)/ 100 [by taking LCM]= 104X/100

CASE 2

given profit % = 6

Now,

It is given to us that

the diff. between the prices is 3 rupees.

so,

Sp2 -Sp1 = 3 rupees

therefore,

Now that you have X,

find Sp1 and Sp2,

Sp1 = 104X/100

so,

Sp1= (104 × 150)/100

Sp1 = 156 Rupees

Now, Sp2 = 106X/100

so,

Sp2 = (106 × 150)/ 100

Sp2 = 159 Rupees
