  1. The profit earned after selling a pair of shoes for ₹ 2033 is the same as the loss incurred after selling the same pair of shoes for ₹ 1063. What is the cost price of the shoes ?
    1. ₹ 1650
    2. ₹ 1548
    3. ₹ 1532
    4. Cannot be determined
    5. None of the above
Correct Option: B

Let the cost price of the shoes = ₹ x
According to the question,
2033 - x = x - 1063
⇒ 2x = 2033 + 1063 = 3096
∴ x = 3096/2 = ₹ 1548
