Explanation:

Solution:
CP of 1st bicycle =x
Then CP of 2nd bicycle is 750-x.
Their SP be 122/100*x and 92/100*(750-x)
Given that there is no profit no loss.
122/100*x + 92/100*(750-x) =750
122x +750*92 -92x=750*100
122x – 92x=750*100 – 750*92
30x = 750 * (100-92)
X=200.
SP of 1st bicycle =122/100 *200=Rs244.
