By selling a printer at Rupees 1500 and rupees 18000 some laws and some profit happen respectively if the loss is one fourth of profit find its cost price?

Question

Answer

Cost Price Calculation:
1. Let's assume the cost price of the printer is Rs. x.
2. Given that the printer is sold at Rs. 1500 and Rs. 18000, we can calculate the profit and loss as follows:
- Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price
- Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price
3. The profit made by selling at Rs. 18000 is:
Profit = 18000 - x
4. The loss incurred by selling at Rs. 1500 is:
Loss = x - 1500
5. Given that the loss is one fourth of the profit, we have:
x - 1500 = (1/4)(18000 - x)
6. Solving the above equation, we get:
x - 1500 = (1/4)(18000 - x)
4x - 6000 = 18000 - x
5x = 24000
x = 4800
Therefore, the cost price of the printer is Rs. 4800.
