The formula for the lateral surface area of a right circular cone is:
where r is the radius of the base, and l is the slant height.
Plugging in the values we get:
Answer:
Rs 175
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose the cost is x and at Rs150 the loss is 150-x (this should be a negative number).
At Rs200, the profit is 200-x.
So we have an equation: minus 150 minus x is equal to 200 minus x.
To solve the equation, the cost price X is Rs175.
