It should be 100% book= 120/3*100

Question:
A man sells a table at 12% loss and a book at 19% profit then he earns Rs.160 as profit. But if he sells the table at 12% profit and the book at 16% loss then he bears a loss of Rs.40. Find the price of one book?
Options:
A) Rs.4200 
B) Rs.4100
C) Rs.4300 
D) Rs.4000
E) None of these
Solution:

- 12% table + 19% Book = 160 ....(i)

+ 12% table – 16% Book = - 40 …(ii)

adding (i) & (ii)

3%Book = 120

100% Book = \(\cfrac{120}{3}\) × 100

C.P. of Book = 4000
