Answer 2

Let's assume that the cost of the bycycle was C

Amount paid by B to A was
$=C+ (\frac{20}{100} )C= [ \frac{120}{100}]C=1.2C$

Amount paid by C to B was
$=1.2C+[ \frac{5}{100}]1.2C=1.2C[ \frac{105}{100}]=1.2*1.05C= 1.26C$

And it is given in the question that this amount was equal to Rs 3780
So,
$1.26C=3780$
$C=\frac{3780 }{1.26}$
$C=3000$

So, A paid Rs 3000 for it
