Detailed Solution for Test: Profit and Loss- 1 - Question 3

Let selling price  = SP and cost price of A = CP1 and that of Q = CP2.
For P, % profit = (SP – CP1)/SP = 40/100. We get CP1 = (3/5)*SP
For Q, % profit = (SP – CP2)/CP2 = 60/100. We get CP2 = (5/7)*SP
Now, CP2 – CP1 = 1000. Solve this and we get SP = 8750
