1. A traders sells two acrticles, one at a loss of 10% and another at a profit of 15% but finally there is no loss or gain. If the total sale price of these two articles is Rs. 30,000, find the difference between their cost prices:

A. Rs. 5000

B. Rs. 6000

C. Rs. 7500

D. Rs. 8500

Solution:

10% of x = 15 % of y, where x + y = 30000

\frac{x}{y} = \frac{3 k}{2 k}

Hence, difference = k = Rs. 6000
