The sum of the cost prices of two bikes is Rs50,000. The first bike was sold at a profit of 20% and second bike at a loss of 20%. If
the selling prices are the same, what is the cost price (in Rs) of the second bike?
25,000
20,000
30,000
27,500
- The sum of the cost prices of two bikes is Rs 50,000. We can express this as:
CP1+CP2=50,000
- The first bike is sold at a 20% profit. Selling Price (SP) of the first bike is:
SP1=CP1×1.2
- The second bike is sold at a 20% loss. Selling Price (SP) of the second bike is:
SP2=CP2×0.8
- Both bikes are sold at the same selling price, so:
CP1×1.2=CP2×0.8
- Solving these equations simultaneously:
- From CP1+CP2=50,000 and 1.2CP1=0.8CP2,
we can write CP1=2CP2/3.
- Substituting in the first equation:
23CP2+CP2=50,000
53CP2=50,000
CP2=30,000
- Therefore, the cost price of the second bike is Rs 30,000.
- Option: 3 - 30,000 is the correct answer.
