Answer:

\huge{ \fbox{ \sf{Rs \: 40000}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf{Let \: CP \: ( \: cost \: price) \: be \: x}

\sf{Loss \: \% \:  = 5  \% \: }

\sf{Selling \: price = CP \:  -  \: loss \: \% \: of \: CP}

\mapsto{ \sf  x -  \frac{5}{100}  \times x}

\mapsto{ \sf{x -  \frac{x}{20} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{  \frac{x \times 20 - x}{20} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{20x - x}{20}}}

\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{19x}{20}}}

Now, Finding the New selling price

\sf{New \: SP \: ( \: selling \: price)} =  \frac{19x}{20}  + 5200

\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{19x + 5200 \times 20}{20}}}

\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{19x + 10400}{20}}}

Finally, finding the Cost price :

We have, Profit % = 8 %

\sf{Cost \: price = Selling \: price \:  -  \: P\% \: of \: CP}

\mapsto{ \sf{x =  \frac{19x + 104000}{20}  - 8\% \: of \: x}}

\mapsto{ \sf{x =  \frac{19x + 104000}{20}  -  \frac{8x}{100} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{x =  \frac{19x + 104000}{20}  -  \frac{2x}{25} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{x =  \frac{5(19x + 104000) - 2x \times 4}{100} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{x =  \frac{95x + 520000 - 8x}{100} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{x =  \frac{87x + 520000}{100}}}

\mapsto{ \sf{100x = 87x + 520000}} \:  \: ( \sf{Cross \: multiplication}

\mapsto{ \sf{100x - 87x = 520000}}

\mapsto{ \sf{13x = 520000}}

\mapsto{ \sf{x =  \frac{520000}{13}}}

\mapsto{ \boxed {\sf{x = 40000}}}

Therefore, the cost price of the jewellery is Rs 40000

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

Answer:

\sf \:  \fbox{Option C) \: The  salary of B is 6000₹}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the salary or A is x and salary of B is y.

now,

Condition one,The sum of 3/4th of A’s salary and 5/3rd of B’s salary is ₹16,000.

writing above statement in equation form,

\sf \frac{3x}{4}  +  \frac{5y}{3}  =  16000

Multiplying above equation with twelve,

\sf \frac{3x}{4}  +  \frac{5y}{3}  =  16000 \\ \sf \frac{12 \times 3x}{4}  +  \frac{12 \times 5y}{3}  =  16000 \times 12  \\  \sf  \fbox{9x + 20y = 192000} \rightarrow eq. 1

and condition two,

The difference of their salaries is ₹2000

\sf \: x - y = 2000

Multiplying above equation with 20

\sf \fbox{\: 20x -20y = 40000} \rightarrow eq.2

On adding equation 1 and equation 2,

\sf9x +  \cancel{20y} = 192000 \\ \sf 20x - \cancel{20y} = 40000 \\     \hline  \sf 29x  + 0y = 232000 \\  \sf x =  \frac{232000}{29}  \\ \sf \:  \fbox{x = 8000₹}

Substituting the value of x in,

\sf \: x - y = 2000 \\ \sf \: 8000 - y = 2000 \\ \sf \:  y = 8000 - 2000 \\ \sf  \fbox{y = 6000₹}

\sf \:  \fbox{The  salary of B is 6000₹}
