Let the cost price of the house be - x
The amount paid for remodeling the house - Rs. 60,000
Therefore, the total amount spend on the house - x + 60,000
The Selling price of the house - Rs. 42,00,000
The profit percent made on it - 20%
Therefore,
120/100*(x+60,000) = 42,00,000
or, x+60,000 = 42,00,000*100/120
or, x+60,000 = 35,00,000
or, x = 35,00,000 - 60,000
or, x = 34,40,000
Therefore the cost price - Rs. 34,40,400
And, that's it!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of the house be - x

The amount paid for remodeling the house - Rs. 60,000

Therefore, the total amount spend on the house - x + 60,000

The Selling price of the house - Rs. 42,00,000

The profit percent made on it - 20%

Therefore,

120/100*(x+60,000) = 42,00,000

or, x+60,000 = 42,00,000*100/120

or, x+60,000 = 35,00,000

or, x = 35,00,000 - 60,000

or, x = 34,40,000

Therefore the cost price - Rs. 34,40,400

And, that's it!
