    Rahul bought two cycles for a total sum of Rs. 1500. He sold one cycle at 20% loss and the other cycle at 20% gain. If the selling price of both the cycles is the same, find the cost price of the two cycles.

    A)  Rs. 750 each                

    B)  Rs. 550, Rs. 950

    C)  Rs. 500, Rs. 1,000        

    D)  Rs. 600, Rs. 900

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     If the C.P. of cycle sold at loss , be Rs. \[x\]. then \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{x\times 80}{100}=(1500-x)\times \frac{120}{100}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{4x}{5}=(1500-x)\times \frac{6}{5}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[4x=9000-6x\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[10x=9000\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[x=\]Rs. 900 \[\therefore \] C.P. of second cycle        \[=1500-900\text{ }=\]Rs. 600
