neeed answer

To find the cost price (C.P.) when given the selling price (S.P.) and either a loss or a profit, we use the following formulas:

1. **If there is a loss:**
   \[
   \text{Cost Price} = \text{Selling Price} + \text{Loss}
   \]

2. **If there is a profit:**
   \[
   \text{Cost Price} = \text{Selling Price} - \text{Profit}
   \]

Now let's solve each question:

---

1. **Product sold for ₹713 at a loss of ₹142:**

   \[
   \text{C.P.} = \text{S.P.} + \text{Loss} = 713 + 142 = ₹855
   \]

---

2. **Item sold for ₹4,538 with a profit of ₹968:**

   \[
   \text{C.P.} = \text{S.P.} - \text{Profit} = 4,538 - 968 = ₹3,570
   \]

---

3. **Table sold for ₹1,205 at a loss of ₹213:**

   \[
   \text{C.P.} = \text{S.P.} + \text{Loss} = 1,205 + 213 = ₹1,418
   \]

---

4. **Painting sold for ₹1,900 with a loss of ₹190:**

   \[
   \text{C.P.} = \text{S.P.} + \text{Loss} = 1,900 + 190 = ₹2,090
   \]

---

5. **Sculpture sold for ₹5,389 at a profit of ₹281:**

   \[
   \text{C.P.} = \text{S.P.} - \text{Profit} = 5,389 - 281 = ₹5,108
   \]
