Solution

Cost price of a video $= R s . 12000$
Selling Price of a video at a gain of $10 %$
$= \frac{(100 + G a i n %)}{100} \times C P$
$= \frac{(100 + 10)}{100} \times 12000$
$= \frac{110}{100} \times 12000$
$= 110 \times 120$
$= R s . 13, 200$
So, Rahul purchased at a cost price of $R s . 13, 200$
Rahul sells it at a loss of $5 %$
Selling Price of a video at loss of $5 % = \frac{(100 - L o s s %)}{100} \times C P$
$= \frac{(100 - 5)}{100} \times 13200$
$= \frac{95}{100} \times 13200$
$= 95 \times 132$
$= R s . 12, 540$
Therefore, Rakesh pays $= R s . 12, 540$
