Answer 1

Your answer is here.

C paid for the article 144 rupees

But B sells it to C at loss of 4 %

It means that the C paid 96 % of the cost price of B.

Then

If 96 % = 144 then 100 % is

144.÷ 96 × 100 = 150

It means that B pay for the article 150 rupees.

But A sells it to B at a profit of 20

It means that total B paid 120 % of the cost price of A.

Then

If 120% = 150 then 100 equal is.

150 ÷ 120 × 100 = 125

A cost price is 125 rupees.
