A T.V was sold at a profit of 5% If it had been sold at a profit of 10% , the profit would have been Rs. 1000 more. What is its cost price ?
Let the cost price of the TV = $$Rs.$$ $$100x$$
If profit % = 5%
=> Profit = $$\frac{5}{100} \times 100x=Rs.$$ $$5x$$
Similarly, if profit % = 10%, profit = $$Rs.$$ $$10x$$
According to ques,
=> $$10x-5x=1000$$
=> $$5x=1000$$
=> $$x=\frac{1000}{5}=200$$
$$\therefore$$ Cost price = $$100 \times 200=Rs.$$ $$20,000$$
