Question

the profit obtained by selling an article for rupees 42000 is 25 % less than the loss obtained by selling it for 14000 find the cost price​

Answer 1

Let CP = x

SP = 42k ( it means 42 thousand)

gain = (42k-x)

gain % = (42k-x)*100/x

again , SP this time = 14k

loss = (x-14k)

loss % = (x-14k)*100/x

A/q,

[(x-14k)*100/x] - [(42k-x)*100/x] = 25

(x-14k)-(42k-x) = 25x/100

(x-14k-42k+x) = x/4

2x-(x/4) = 56k

7x/4 = 56k

x = 32k = 32,000 (ans.)
