The ratio of cost prices of two mobile phones Samsung and Jio is 3 : 5. The cost price (CP) of Jio phone is Rs. 8000 more than the cost price of Samsung phone. If the profit on Samsung phone is P% and the loss on Jio phone is (P + 12)%, then selling prices of both phone become equal. Also, the shopkeeper gives D% discount on the marked price (MP) of Samsung phone and (D - 5)% discount on MP of Jio phone. If the MP of Samsung phone is Rs. 1175 more than the MP of Jio phone, then what are the marked prices of Samsung phone and Jio phone, respectively? (a) Rs. 18,800 and Rs. 17,625 (b) Rs. 14,800 and Rs. 12,625 (c) Rs. 16,800 and Rs. 18,625 (d) Rs. 18,900 and Rs. 19,625 (e) Rs. 13,800 and Rs. 17,625

Solving the system of equations for cost prices and profit/loss percentages leads to the marked prices. Given the ratio 3:5 and the difference of 8000, CP(S)=12000 and CP(J)=20000. Using the SP equality and discount relations confirms option A.
