Answer/Solution

Rs.21000

Steps/Work

Let the cost prices of the colour television sold at 30% profit and 40% profit be Rs. x and Rs. (35000 - x) respectively.
Total selling price of televisions = x + 30/100 x + (35000 - x) + 40/100 (35000 - x)
=> 130/100 x + 140/100 (35000 - x) = 35000 + 32/100 (35000)
x = 28000
35000 - x = 7000
Difference in the cost prices of televisions = Rs.21000

Step by Step Solution

In order to solve problem, you must evaluate n0 - (n0 * (n3 + 100) / 100 - n0 * (n1 + 100) / 100) / ((n2 + 100) / 100 - (n1 + 100) / 100) - (n0 * (n3 + 100) / 100 - n0 * (n1 + 100) / 100) / ((n2 + 100) / 100 - (n1 + 100) / 100).

n0 =35000
n1 =30
n2 =40
n3 =32
