Correct Answer: INR 2,160
Solution : Let the cost price of A be INR $x$. The selling price of A = cost price of B = INR 4860 Loss of A = 19% of $x$ Selling price of A = cost price of A – Loss of A ⇒ 4860 = $x$ – 19% of $x$ ⇒ 81% of $x$ = 4860 ⇒ $x$ = INR 6000 Profit = 17% of $x$ = 17% of 6000 = INR 1020 Selling price of B = 6000 + 1020 = INR 7020 Gain of B = 7020 – 4860 = INR 2160 Hence, the correct answer is INR 2,160.
