let initial selling price be x

Mr A sale a bicycle to Mr B at a profit of 20%
so, selling price for Mr A = x+20%x = 100%x + 12% x = 120% x

Mr B sell it to Mr C at a profit of 25% if Mr C Pays Rs 1500
so, selling price for Mr B = 120% x + 25% of 120% x = 120% x + 30% x = 150% x

so, 150%x = 1500
150x/100 = 1500
15x/10 = 1500
15x = 15000
x = 15000/15
x = 1000

so initial selling price is 1000 rupees and Mr B buy the cycle from Mr A at 1200 rupees
