by selling a table for rs350 instead of rs400,loss percent increases by 5%.the cp of table is ?

• Let cost price be x
  loss when selling at Rs.350 =(x−350)
  loss when selling at Rs.400 =(x−400)
  
  (x−350)=(x−400)+5x/100
  x=1000

• Ans. 1,000 Rs
  How?
  we have given that if we decrease price by 50Rs then there will be a loss of 5 %.
  It means that a 5 % loss is equal to loss of 50 Rs. then 100% loss will be equal to loss of 1,000 Rs.
  it simply means that the cost price is 1,000 Rs

• loss=(50/5)*100=1000
  cp= 1000+400
  =1400

• let loss%=x
  when s.p=350
  350=[100-(5+x)]*c.p/100
  c.p=[350*100]/[100-(5+x)]
  when s.p=400
  400=[100-x]*c.p/100
  c.p=[400*100]/[100-x]
  now in both the case c.p will be same
  [350*100]/[100-(5+x)]= [400*100]/[100-x]
  x=60= loss%
  c.p=1000
