Question

The price of a table is $Rs.400$ more than that of a chair. If $6$ tables and $6$ chairs together cost $Rs.4800$, by what percent is the price of the chair less than that of the table ?

• A. $33\frac{1}{3}\%$
• B. $50\%$
• C. $66\frac{2}{3}\%$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A $33\frac{1}{3}\%$

Let the price of the chair be $=x$

Let the price of table $=400+x$

$6$ of each sold at $4800$

$⟹6\times (400+x)+6\times x=4800$

$⟹x=200$

chair price $=200$ , table price $=600$

required percentage $=\frac{200}{600}\times 100$

$=33\frac{1}{3}\%$
