#### 1. Question
Two articles A and B are sold at 25% profit and 40% profit respectively. If total profit is Rs. 89 and cost price of A is Rs 60 less than B. find cost price of B.
Answer: (a) 160
Explanation:
Let cost price of A=x
Cost price of B=x+60
X*1/4 +2/5 (x+60) =89
On solving we get x=100
CP of B=x+60=100+60=160
Answer: (a) 160
Explanation:
Let cost price of A=x
Cost price of B=x+60
X*1/4 +2/5 (x+60) =89
On solving we get x=100
CP of B=x+60=100+60=160
