Answer the question based on the given information.

The total cost of snowden ice cream parlour is divided into fixed cost x and variable cost y. Fixed cost is the cost that the ice cream parlour has to incur even at zero level of production and variable cost is the cost that will be directly proportional to each unit of ice cream sold.

The parlour launched a new flavour of ice cream and wanted to find the fixed and variable cost associated with it. They found that their total cost for that flavour was Rs 27500 after selling 150 units and Rs 32500 after selling 250 units.

Find the fixed cost incurred by the ice cream parlour for the new flavour. Show your work.
