    Option D
    Let CP of cycle = 100x
    loss = 10%
    SP of cycle = 100x * 90/100 = 90x
    If he sold 750 more, he would have 40% profit
    SP = 100x * 140/100 = 140x
    90x + 750 = 140x
    50x = 750
    x = 15

    MP of article = 100x * 145/100 = 145x
    SP of article = 145x * 4/5 = 116x
    profit = rs.128
    116 x – 100x = 16x
    16x = 128
    x = 8
    CP = 800
    SP = 928
    When he sells rs.72 more than its SP,

    SP of product A = x * 130/100 = 13x/10
    SP of product B = 13x /10 * 17/20 = 221x/200
    profit of product A = 13x/10 – x = 3x /10
    profit of product B = 221x/200 = 21x/200
    3x/10 + 21x/200 = 162
    60x + 21x / 200 = 162
    x = 400

     

  10. An article is sold at a profit of 15%. If it had been sold at a profit of 22%, it would have fetched rs. 340 more. What is the cost price of article ?

    SP of the article = 100x * 115/100
    when it sold at 22% profit
    SP = 100 * 122/100 = 122x
    122x – 115x = 7x
    7x = 340
    x = 20
    CP of the product = 100x = 100 * 20 = 2000
