Q18. On selling a tea-set at 5% loss and a lemon-set at 15% gain, a crockery seller gains Rs. 7. If
he sells the tea-set at 5% gain and the lemon-set at 10% gain, he gains Rs.13. Find the
actual price of the tea-set and the lemon-set.

Q19. A person invested some amount at the rate of 10% simple interest and some other
amount at the rate of 12% simple interest. He received yearly Rs.130. But, if he had
interchanged the amounts invested, he would have received Rs. 4 more as interest. How
much did he invest at different rates?
