Correct Question

A sold a cow to B for 20% and B sold to C for 25% gain. If C paid rupees 1500 for that, then how much amount is paid by A for that cow?

Answer

Given :

Gain percent of A : 20%

Gain percent of B : 25%

Rupees paid by C : ₹1500

To find :

The cost paid by A to buy the cow.

Solution :

First, we should find the cost paid by B to buy the cow. We know that the cost paid by C and the selling price of B is same. So,

Cost paid by B :

$\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{100}{(100 + Gain\%)} \times SP$

$\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{100}{(100 + 25)} \times 1500$

$\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{100}{125} \times 1500$

$\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{4}{5} \times 1500$

$\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{4 \times 1500}{5} = \dfrac{6000}{5}$

$\sf \dashrightarrow \cancel \dfrac{6000}{5} = 1200$

Now, we should find the cost paid by A. We know that, the cost paid by B and the selling price of A are same. So,

Cost paid by A :

$\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{100}{(100 + Gain\%)} \times SP$

$\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{100}{(100 + 20)} \times 1200$

$\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{100}{120} \times 1200$

$\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{5}{6} \times 1200$

$\sf \dashrightarrow \dfrac{5 \times 1200}{6} = \dfrac{6000}{6}$

$\sf \dashrightarrow \cancel \dfrac{6000}{6} = 1000$

Hence, the amount paid by A to buy the cow is ₹1000.
