Solution : Given, that Raman sells a machine for Rs. 39 lakhs at a loss. Had he sold it for Rs. 49 lakhs, his gain would have been three times the loss. Let the cost price be Rs. $x$. Hence, $3\times (x-39)={49-x}$ ⇒ $3x(x-39)=x(49-x)$ ⇒ $3x-117=49-x$ ⇒ $x = 41.50$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 41.50 lakhs.
