A student purchased a computer system and a colour printer. If he sold the computer system at 10% loss and the colour printer at 20%gain, he would not lose anything. But if he sells the computer system at 5% gain and the colour printer at 15% loss, he would lose ₹800 in the bargain. How much did hepayfor the colour printer?
Let cost price of color printer = Rs. $$100x$$ and C.P of computer system = Rs. $$100y$$
Case 1 : SP of color printer when sold at 20% profit = Rs. $$120x$$
Similarly, SP of computer system = Rs. $$90y$$
According to ques, => $$100x+100y=120x+90y$$
=> $$10y=20x$$
=> $$y=2x$$ -----------------(i)
Case 2 : SP of color printer at 15% loss = Rs. $$85x$$
SP of computer system = Rs. $$105y$$
=> Loss = $$(100x+100y)-(85x+105y)=800$$
=> $$15x-5y=800$$
=> $$3x-y=160$$
Substituting value from equation (i), => $$x=160$$
$$\therefore$$ Cost Price of color printer = Rs. 16,000
=> Ans - (A)
