Answer 2

Answer:

Rs.49

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Cost price be x

The profit obtained by selling an article for rs 56

Profit = SP-CP

Profit = 56-x

The loss obtained by selling it for rs 42.

Loss = CP-SP

Loss = x -42

Since we are given that The profit obtained by selling an article for rs 56 is same as the loss obtained by selling it for rs 42.

So,  $56-x =x-42$

$56+42=2x$

$98=2x$

$\frac{98}{2}=x$

$49=x$

Hence the cost price is Rs.49
