I. 1000, 1200 II. 1600, 1850 III. 1300, 1560 IV. 1400, 1650Solution
ATQ, CP of Table = 'a' Rs., CP of Bed = 1500 Rs. MP of Table = 1.2a Rs., MP of Bed = 1.25 × 1500 = 1875 Rs. SP of Bed = 1875 – 125 = 1750 Rs. Profit = 1750 – 1500 = 250 Rs. SP of Table = a + 250 Rs. a = 1000, SP of Table = 1000 + 250 = 1250 Rs. [In option SP = 1200] a = 1600, SP of Table = 1600 + 250 = 1850 Rs. [in option SP = 1850] a = 1300, SP of Table = 1300 + 250 = 1550 Rs. [in option SP = 1560] a = 1400, SP of Table = 1400 + 250 = 1650 Rs. [in option SP = 1650] Hence, Only II & IV [since only in these 2 options profit is Rs.250]
