On selling a tea set at 10% loss and a lemon set at 20% gain, a shopkeeper gains Rs60.If he sells at 5% gain and lemon set at 5% loss, he gains Rs 10 .Then ,find the cost price of the tea set and lemon set

Answer :

Smsb

Answer:

Let C.P of tea set =x and lemon set =y

ATP, 15100×y−5100×x=70

⇒3y−x=70×20

⇒3y−x=1400⟶(1)

Again,

5100×x+10100×y=130

⇒x+2y=130×20

⇒x+2y=2600⟶(2)

Substituting x from equation (1) in equation (2)

3y−1400+2y=2600

⇒5y=4000

⇒y=800

Answer:

Cost price of a tea set is Rs 1000 and cost price of a lemon set is Rs 800.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that cost price of a tea set and lemon set be Rs x and Rs y respectively.

According to statement, on selling a tea set at 10% loss and a lemon set at 20% gain.

[tex]\sf\: - \dfrac{10x}{100} + \dfrac{20y}{100} = 60 \\ [/tex]

[tex]\sf\: - \dfrac{x}{10} + \dfrac{2y}{10} = 60 \\ [/tex]

[tex]\implies\sf\: - x + 2y = 600 - - - (1) \\ [/tex]

According to statement again, a shopkeeper gains Rs 10, if he sells at 5% gain and lemon set at 5% loss, he gains Rs 10 .

[tex]\sf\: \dfrac{5x}{100} - \dfrac{5y}{100} = 10 \\ [/tex]

[tex]\sf\: \dfrac{x}{20} - \dfrac{y}{20} = 10 \\ [/tex]

[tex]\implies\sf\:x - y = 200 - - - (2) \\ [/tex]

On adding equation (1) and (2), we get

[tex]\implies\sf\:y = 800 \\ [/tex]

On substituting the value of x in (2), we get

[tex]\implies\sf\:x= 1000 \\ [/tex]

Hence, Cost price of a tea set is Rs 1000 and cost price of a lemon set is Rs 800.
