A traders sells two acrticles, one at a loss of 10% and another at a profit of 15% but finally there is no loss or gain. If the total sale price of these two articles is Rs. 30,000, find the difference between their cost prices:

a) Rs. 5000
b) Rs. 6000
c) Rs. 7500
d) Rs. 8500

Answer: b
Explanation:10% of x = 15 % of y, where x + y = 30000
$$\frac{{\text{x}}}{{\text{y}}} = \frac{{3{\text{k}}}}{{2{\text{k}}}}$$
Hence, difference = k = Rs. 6000
