A retailer buys a Panjabi and a Fatua jointly at Tk. 500. If he sells the Fatua at 10% profit and the panjabi at 5% loss , then he gets, Tk. 520 as total sales price. What is the cost price of the Fatua?

A Tk. 150
B Tk. 200
C Tk. 280
D Tk. 300

Correct Answer: Tk. 300

Let the cost price of the Fatua and the Panjabi be F and (500 - F) respectively. Now, total sales price,  F + 10% of F + (500 - F) - 5% of (500 - F) = 520  or,  F + 10/100 F + 500 - F  - 5/100 of 500 + 5/100 of F = 520 or,  F/10 + F/20 = 520 + 25 - 500 or,  3F/20 = 45 or,  F = 45 x 20 / 3 =  300 TK
