Solution:

GIVEN:
A person sold a table at 6.5% profit. If he had sold it for Rs. 1250 more he would have gained 19%.
FORMULA USED:
SP = CP × [1 + Profit/100]
CALCULATION:
Suppose Cost price = Rs. x
Given,
Difference between 2 selling prices = Rs. 1250

⇒ 119x{/}100 – 213x{/}200 = 1250

⇒ 238x{/}200 – 213x{/}200 = 1250

⇒ 25x{/}200 = 1250

⇒ x = 10000
∴ Cost price = Rs. 10000
