CP of Rahim

                            $$frac100100 + gain	imes SP $$\$$ $$ Rightarrowfrac100100 +5	imes14490 $$\$$ $$ Rightarrow frac100105	imes14490$$\$$ $$Rightarrow 13800

Now, CP of Rahim will be SP of Raj  = $$13800$$

Now CP of Raj

                       $$ frac100100 - 8 	imes13800$$\$$ $$Rightarrow frac10092 	imes 13800$$\$$ $$Rightarrow 1500$$\$$

(a) The SP and CP of the Scooter for Rahim $$= 14490, 13800$$\$$

(b) The SP and CP of the scooter for Raj = $$= 13800, 15000$$\$$

Hence, answers (a)   $$ 14490, 13800$$\$$

                    (b)  $$ 13800, 15000$$\$$
