Answer:

430

Explanation:

Given :-

  • By selling a watch on 400 and 460’. Loss and profit happened respectively.
  • The loss and profit are equal.

And we need to find out the CP .So ,

Let :-

  • CP be x
  • Profit and Lost be y .

According to the Question :-


:\implies 460 = x + y ( Profit)


:\implies 400 = x - y ( Loss)

Adding both :-


:\implies 460 + 400 = x + y + x - y


:\implies 860 = 2x


:\implies x = 860/2


:\implies x = 430

Hence the Cost price of the watch is 430 .
