Let the cost price of one table and one chair be ₹ a and ₹ b, respectively.
The selling price of the table, when it’s sold at a profit of
The selling price of the chair, when it’s sold at a profit of
According to the question
… (a)
Similar,
The selling price of the table, when it’s sold at a profit of
The selling price of the chair, when it’s sold at a profit of
Therefore, again from the question
… (b)
Re- written (a) and (b) with their simplest coefficients,
…….. (c)
….. (d)
Adding (c) and (d), we get
⇒ ……. (e)
Using (e) in (c),
[After taking LCM]
⇒
Putting in (e),
Therefore, the cost price of the table is and that of the chair is .
