Expert Answer
Let the cost price of the table be Rs x and the cost price of the chair be Rs y.
The selling price of the table, when it is sold at a profit of 10% = Rs x + 10x/100 = 110x / 100
The selling price of the chair when it is sold at a profit of 25% = Rs y + 25y/100 = 125y / 100
So, 110x / 100 + 125y / 100 = 1050 ... (1)
When the table is sold at a profit of 25%, its selling price = Rs (x + 25x/100) = Rs 125x / 100
When the chair is sold at a profit of 10%, its selling price = Rs (y + 10y/100) = Rs 110y / 100
So, 125x / 100 + 110y / 100 = 1065 ... (2)
Solve (1) and (2), to get x = 500 and y = 400
Hence. the cost price of the table is Rs 500 and the cost price of the chair is Rs 400.
