Answer: The cost of first saree is Rs 3000 and the cost of second is Rs 2000.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total cost of two sarees is Rs 5000.
Let the cost price of the first saree be Rs x
∴ The cost price of second saree = Rs (5000-x)
The profit percentage of the first saree is 10%
∴ The selling price of first saree = Rs(x + 10% of x)
=Rs 11x/10
The loss percentage of the second saree = 15%
∴ The selling price of the second saree = Rs[(5000-x)-15%of (5000-x)]
= Rs[(5000-x)-15/100 (5000-x)]
= Rs (5000-x)(1-15/100)
= Rs85/100(5000-x)
As per the question
Selling price of first saree + seliing price of second saree= Rs 5000
∴11x/10+85/100(5000-x) = Rs 5000
∴110x+425000-85x = 5000*100
∴ 25x = 500000-425000
∴25x = 75000
∴ x = 3000
The cost of first saree is Rs 3000
The cost of second saree is 5000-3000= Rs 2000
