Correct Answer: Rs. 500
Solution : Let the cost price ($\text{CP}$) of the table be $y$ Selling Price ($\text{SP}$) at $R\%$ profit = $\frac{(100+R\%)}{100}\times \text {CP}$ According to the question, $\frac{113y}{100}+25=\frac{118y}{100}$ ⇒ $\frac{5y}{100}=25$ ⇒ $y=500$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 500.
