Alpha and Beta sold their Fridge at Rs. 75000 each, in which Alpha got a profit of 30% and Beta incurred loss of 30%. Find the ratio of the C.P of the Fridge sold by Alpha to that of Beta. Correct Answer 7 ∶ 13

Given∶

Alpha and Beta sold their Fridge at Rs.75000 each

Alpha got a profit of 30% and Beta incurred loss of 30%

Calculation∶

Let C.P of the Fridge of Alpha be x

Let C.P of the Fridge of Beta be y

Equating the selling price,

x × 130/100 = y × 70/100

x ∶ y = 7 ∶ 13

∴ The required ratio is 7 ∶ 13.
