$\huge{\underline{\underline{\bf{Question:}}}}$

P sells an article to Q at a profit of 10% and Q sells the article to R at a loss of 12%. If R pays rs.242 then what is the profit of P?

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\bf{Answer:}}}}$

$\sf\purple{Let\ the\ cost\ price\ for\ P\ be\ S}$

$\sf\purple{Value\ for\ Q = (1 + 10/100)S}$

$\tt\green{= 1.1 S}$

$\sf\purple{with\ similar\ arguments,}$

$\sf\purple{Value\ for\ R = 1.12 (value\ for\ Q)}$

$\tt\green{= (1.12)(1.1)S}$

$\sf\purple{given\ it\ is\ equals\ to\ 246.40.}$

$\tt\green{(1.12)(1.1)S = 246.40}$

$\large\tt\pink{S = 200}$

$\large\sf\red{So,\ answer\ is\ 200.}$
