Two tables are purchased for the total cost of Rs. 5000. First table is sold at 40% profit and second at 40% loss. If selling price is same for both the tables, what is the cost price of the table that was sold at profit?
Select the correct option:
A) Rs. 1500.	B) Rs. 2500.	C) Rs. 3500.	D) Rs. 4500.	E) Rs. 5500.
Ans: 140% of cost price of first table = 60% of cost price of second table.   Therefore, Cost price of first table : Cost price of second table   = 60 : 140 = 3 : 7   Therefore, Cost price of first table = 3/10× 5000 = Rs. 1500.   Rs. 1500.nswer Rs. 1500.
