Answer:

  Rs 500

Step-by-step explanation:

For cost c, the price that gives a 5% profit is ...

  c + 5%·c = 1.05c

The price that gives a 5% loss is ...

  c -5%·c = 0.95c

The difference of these prices is Rs 50:

  1.05c -0.95c = 50

  0.10c = 50 . . . . simplify

  c = 500 . . . . . . . divide by 0.1

The cost price of the article is Rs 500.
