Such questions can be solved orally as well, but let me adopt the complete procedure here.

Firstly, the cost price of the laptop for Kanthi is Rs. 24,000. She sold it to Eswar at a gain of 15%. Thus, she made a profit of 15%.

15% of 24,000 =  \frac{15}{100} * 24000 = Rs. 3,600. Thus, her profit is Rs. 3600.

Her Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit = 24000 + 3600 = Rs. 27,600


The selling price for Kanthi is the cost price for Eswar. Thus, the cost price for Eswar is Rs. 27,600.
He made a loss of 10% when he sold it to Sekhar.
Thus, his loss is equal to 10% of 27,600 =  \frac{10}{100} * 27600 = Rs. 2,760.

Hence, the selling price for Eswar is Cost Price - Loss = 27600 - 2760 = Rs. 24,840.


Therefore, the selling price of Eswar is Rs. 24,840.
