  1. A man buys 3 type-I cakes and 6 type-II cakes for Rs. 900. He sells type-I cakes at a profit of 15% and type-II cakes at a loss of 10%. If his overall profit is Rs.30, the cost price (in Rs.) of a type-I and of a type-II cakes is
    1. 100, 100
    2. 160, 70
    3. 180, 60
    4. 120, 90
Correct Option: B

Let the C.P. of each cake of type–I be Rs. x and that of type – II be Rs. y.
given in question ,
∴ 3x + 6y = 900
⇒ x + 2y = 300 ..... (i)

Again, 3 ×
115x
+
6 × y × 90
= 930
100100

⇒ 115x + 180q = 31000
By equation (i) × 2 – (ii),

⇒ y =
3500
= Rs. 70
50

From equation (i), x + ( 2 × 70 ) = 300
⇒ x = Rs. (300 – 140) = Rs. 160
