Question

A sells a bicycle to b at a profit of 20% and b sells it to c at a profit of 5% . if c pays rupees 3780 what did A pay for it,

Answer 1

The CP is 125 for C, when CP for B is 100. So, CP is 1500 for C, when CP for B = 100*1500/125 = Rs 1200 Similarly The CP is 120 for B, when CP for A is 100. So, CP is 1200 for B, when CP for A = 100*1200/12 = Rs 1000 Therefore CP for A = Rs 1000

Hope it helps you.
