Quantity A:

Let the cost price of Dress be Rs.a.

If selling price is Rs. 1500 then it would have loss.

Loss = cost price – selling price

Loss = a – 1500

But, if selling price is Rs. 2400 then it would have profit.

Profit = selling price – cost price

Profit = 2400 – a

Given,

The profit is 80% of loss

(2400 – a) = (80/100) × (a – 1500)

12000 – 5a = 4a – 6000

9a = 18000

a = 2000

Cost price of Dress is Rs. 2000.

Quantity B:

The showroom price of Cycle = Rs. 4500

Price of cycle after 5% discount =

= 4500 – 4500 × (5/100)

= 4275

Raj get additional 2% discount on price after 5% discount.

Raj purchased cycle at =

= 4275 – 4275 × (2/100)

= 4189.5

Raj purchased cycle at Rs. 4189.5

From above solution,

Relation between Quantity A < Quantity B is established.
