Answer 1

Cost Price of Bicycle for A = Rs.150

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,Selling price for C = Rs. 225

According to Question,

If B sold bicycle to C at a profit of 25%

⇒Selling Price of Bicycle for C = 125% of Cost price for C

⇒125% of Cost Price for C = Rs.225

⇒100% of Cost Price for C = $\frac{225}{125}\times 100$      

                                             = Rs.180

Now,Selling Price for B = Cost Price for C

Selling Price for B = Rs.180

Also,A sold the bicycle to B at profit of 20%

⇒Selling Price for B = 120% of Cost Price for A

Rs.180 = 120% of Cost Price for A

Cost Price for A  = $\frac{180}{120}\times 100$

                           = Rs. 150

Hence,Cost Price of Bicycle for A = Rs.150
