sonia sold a table and a chair for Rs 1050 thereby making a profit of 10% on the table and 25% on the chair. If she had taken a profit of 25% on the table and 10% on the chair she would have got Rs 1065 . Find the cost of each

Let the cost of chair be Rs. x and 

cost of table be Rs. y

Therefore, acc. to the question,

10% of y +25% of x = 1050

and 

10& of x+ 25% of y = 1065

now, on solving (i) & (ii) , we get,

 

put in (i), we get,

thus, the cost of chair =

and cost of table =
