   Step-by-step explanation:

   Suppose the CP of the article = Rs. 100

   I case :

   Profit =5%

   SP = 100+5 = Rs. 105

   II case :

   Loss =5%

   SP = CP − loss = 100−5 = Rs. 95

   Difference between two SP’s

   = 105−95 = Rs. 10

   If the difference = Rs. 10, then CP = Rs. 100

   If the difference = Rs. 15, then CP =

   10

   100

   ×15= Rs. 150
