for A-
CP=10,000
SP= (115/100)×10,000=11,500
for B-
CP= 11,500
SP=(85/100)×11500=9,775
so there is gain of A by
11,500-9,775=1,725
CP=10,000
SP= (115/100)×10,000=11,500
for B-
CP= 11,500
SP=(85/100)×11500=9,775
so there is gain of A by
11,500-9,775=1,725

Step-by-step explanation:
Cost price of house for A(assumed A bought it) =Rs. 10,000
Selling price of house for A or CP of house for B =Rs. 1.15 x 10,000
=Rs. 11,500
Selling price of house for B =Rs. 0.85 x 11500
=Rs. 9775
Since A got the house back along with few extra bucks, A is no doubt gaining from from the entire transaction.
A's total profit =Rs. 1500 + (Rs. 10,000- Rs. 9775)
=Rs. 1,725
therefore, A's profit % =(1,725/10,000) x 100
=17.25 % Answer
