200. A man sold a chair and a table together for Rs. 1520 thereby making a profit of 25% on the chair and 10% on table. By selling them together for Rs. 1535 he would have made a profit of 10% on the chair and 25% on the table. Find the cost price of each.


Let the cost price of one chair be Rs. x and that of one table be Rs. y. Profit on chair = 25%.

∴ Selling price of one chair equals space straight x plus 25 over 100 straight x equals 125 over 100 straight x

Profit on a table = 10%

∴ Selling price of one table = straight y plus fraction numerator 10 straight y over denominator 100 end fraction equals 110 over 100 straight y

According to the given condition, we have

125 over 100 straight x plus 110 over 100 straight y equals 1520
rightwards double arrow 125 straight x plus 110 straight y equals 152000
rightwards double arrow space 25 straight x space plus space 22 straight y space equals space 30400 space space space space space space space space space space space... left parenthesis straight i right parenthesis

If profit on a chair is 10% and on a table is 25%, then total selling price is Rs. 1535.


therefore space space space open parentheses straight x plus 10 over 100 straight x close parentheses plus open parentheses straight y plus 25 over 100 straight y close parentheses equals 1535
rightwards double arrow space space space 110 over 100 straight x plus 125 over 100 straight y equals 1535
rightwards double arrow space space 110 straight x plus 125 straight y equals 153500
rightwards double arrow space 22 straight x space plus space 25 straight y space equals space 30700 space space space space space space space space space space space space... left parenthesis ii right parenthesis

Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get
3x - 3y = -300 ⇒ x - y = -100
Adding equation (ii) and (i), we get
47x + 47y = 61100 ⇒ x + y = 1300
Thus, we have following equations
x - y = -100    ...(iii)
x + y = 1300    ...(iv)
From (iii), we have
x - y = - i 00
⇒    x = y - 100    ...(v)
Substituting the value of x in (iv), we get
x + y = 1300
⇒ y - 100 + y - 1300
2y - 100 = 1300
⇒    2y - 1400 ⇒ y = 700
Substituting the value of y in (v), we get
x = y - 100
⇒ x = 700 - 100 = 600
Hence, cost price of one chair = Rs. 600 and cost price of one table = Rs. 700
