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
