Question 58

Profit after selling an article for Rs. 425 is the same as loss after selling it for Rs. 355. The cost of the article is :

Solution

Let C.P. = $$Rs. x$$

Case 1 : If S.P. = $$Rs. 425$$

=> Profit = $$S.P. - C.P. = (425 - x)$$

Case 2 : If S.P. = $$Rs. 355$$

=> Profit = $$C.P. - S.P. = (x - 355)$$

Acc. to ques, => $$425 - x = x - 355$$

=> $$2x = 425 + 355 = 780$$

=> $$x = \frac{780}{2} = Rs. 390$$
