Question

The total cost of a washing machine with a toaster was Rs 10500. The toaster was sold at a profit of 22% and the washing machine at a loss of 12%. If the sale price was the same in both the items, then the cost price of the cheaper item was ______.

A) Rs 4100 B) Rs 3250 C) Rs 7100 D) Rs 4400

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

let C.p of toaster be Rs x then C.p of machine will be (10500-x)

s.p1 = s.p2 (Given)

122% of x = 88% of (10500 -x)

=> x = Rs 4400

4400 < (10500 - x)

option (D) is correct
