Answer:

Let cost price for A was 100.

Then,

CP for B,

$= 100 + 25\% \: of \: 100$

$= 125$

CP for C,

$= 125 + 20\% \: of \: 125$

$= 150$

CP for D,

$= 150 + 10\% \: of \: 150$

$= 165$

But, D pay $Rs. 330$

Then,

It must be equal to

$165 = 330$

$1 = ( \frac{330}{165})$

$100 = ( \frac{330 \times 100}{165} ) = 200$

Thus, CP for $A = Rs. 200$

Therefore,

Correct option C) Rs. 200
