Dear student
Total cost of two watches=Rs3660Let the CP of first watch be Rs x∴CP of second watch=Rs(3660-x)Loss percentage of first watch=12%Therefore, SP of first watch=Rs100-loss%100×C
P=Rs100-12100×x=Rs88x100Profit percentage of second watch=16%Therefore, SP of second watch=Rs100+Profit%100×C
P=Rs100+16100×3660-x=Rs1161003660-xAccording to given condition,SP of first watch+SP of seond watch=Rs3660⇒88x100+1161003660-x=3660⇒88x+424560-116x=366000⇒58560=28x⇒x=2091
42SO, C P of first watch=Rs2091
42CP of second watch=Rs3660-2091 42=Rs1568 58
