On selling a chair at 7% loss and a table at 17% gain, a man gains Rs.296. If he sells the chair at 7% gain and the table at 12% gain, then he gains Rs.400. The actual price of the table is:
1. Rs. 2100
2. Rs. 1900
3. Rs. 2200
4. Rs. 2400

• let chair be x & table be y
  -0.07x +0.17y =296
  0.07z +0.12y =400
  
  solve it, we get y =2400( price of table)

• let the cost of chair be x & table be y
  then;
  for first objective-
  total gain= gain-loss
  296= 17/100 y-7/100 x ................(1)
  for second objective-
  total gain= gain-loss
  400 =12/100 y+7/100 x .......(2)
  by adding (1) & (2) we get
  y=2400
  ans
