Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 34500
Let the CP of a fried and washing machine be x and y.
x + y = 57300.....(1)
She sold the fridge at a profit of 15% and the washing machines at a loss of 24%
x × 1.15 = y × .76
x/y = 76/115
Let x = 76a and y = 115a.
76a + 115a = 57300
191a = 57300
a = 300.
CP of a washing machine = y = 115a.
= 115 × 300 = ₹34500.
