Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Let the CP of computer be Rs. C and that of printer be Rs. P. Then, SP in first case $ =0.9C+1.2P $ There is no gain or no loss, hence $ C+P=0.9C+1.2P $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 0.1C=0.2P $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ C=2P $ (i) In second case, $ SP=1.05C+0.85P $ Since, there is a loss of Rs. 800 in the bargain, $ 0.9C+1.2P-(0.85P+1.05C)=800 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 0.3P-0.15C=800 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 0.3P-0.35P=800 $ [from Eq.(i)]

$ \Rightarrow $ $ P=Rs\text{.}16000 $
