    I buy two watches for Rs.1350 and sell one so as to lose 6% and the other so as to gain 7.5% and on the whole I neither lose nor gain. What is price of watch which was sold at a loss?

    A) 700                       

    B) 740

    C) 750             

    D) 780

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let C.P. of first watch = Rs.x So C.P. of second watch \[\left. \begin{matrix}    \frac{48}{5}:9  \\    5:8  \\ \end{matrix} \right\}::900:x\] Now, S.P. of first watch \[x=900\times \frac{9}{48/5}\times \frac{8}{5}=1350lit.\] Now, S.P. of second watch \[=\frac{1}{20}\times 3+\frac{1}{30}\times 1+\frac{1}{60}\times 1=\frac{1}{5}\] According to question, \[\therefore \] \[=3\times 5=15\] \[P=\frac{1}{25};Q=\frac{1}{30}\]
