Question

Manoj purchased a video for ₹ 12000. He sold it to Rahul at a gain of 10%. If Rahul sells it to Rakesh at a loss of 5%. What did Rakesh pay for it?

Answer 1

Manoj Sold Video for 10% profit so 12000 + 12000×(10/100) = 13200
Now Rahul Sells it with 5% loss so 13200 - 13200x(5/100) = 12540

Answer 2

hi Raj

Here is your answer

Manoj purchased the video for ₹ 12000
And sold it to Rahul at 10% profit

Sales price of Manoj = Cost price + Profit

= 12000 + 12000 × 10/100
= 12000 + 1200
= 13200

Also it is the cost price of Rahul, because he got from Manoj at ₹ 13200

Now, then Rahul sold video to Rakesh @ 5% Less.

Now Sales price for Rahul = 13200 - 13200×5/100 = ₹ 12540

Hence Rahul got ₹ 12540 from Rakesh.
That means Rakesh paid ₹ 12540


hope it helps
