    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the cost price of the gadget be Rs. 'y.' Selling price of the gadget for Anjali = Rs. '1.30y.' Selling price of the gadget for Rahul = Rs. '1.28y.' According to the question: 1.30y−1.28y=50 0.02y=50 So, y=2500 Therefore, the cost price of the gadget is Rs. 2,500.
