- (e); Let the labeled price be Rs. 100.
S.P. in 1st case=Rs. 80, S.P. in 2nd case=Rs. 75.
5 : 100 : : 500 : x.
So, x=[(100X500)/5]=10000.
i.e Required CP = 80 % of 10000 = 8000

- Let Mp = x,
case 1. Cp = .8 of x
case 2. Cp = .75 of x
case1 - case 2 = 500,
.05 of x = 500
x = 10000
He had bought for .8 of x = 8000 ans - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(0)

Labelled Price of T.V. = x
The Saving of Rs. 500
(0.8x - 0.75x) = 500
X=10000
So TV is bought at 20% discount so (0.8x) = 0.8*10000= 8000 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- assume the price at which he got the tv = x
20% discount = .2x
25% discount = .25x
difference in discounts = .05x
savings if he got it at 25% rather than 20% = 500
therefore .05x = 500
x= 10000 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Let lebeled price was 100.
Tarun bought = 100 - 20% of 100 = 80.
If Tarun bought it at 25% discount,
= 100 - 25% of 100 = 75.
Difference = 500
80 - 75 = 500.
5 = 500
1 = 500/5
80 = 100 *80 = 8000.
Correct Answer is Rs. 8000. - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
