Reetu sold a watch to Reshma at 20% profit.Reshma again sold the same watch to nikita for Rs 1350 at a loss of 10%.At what price did Reetu purchase the watch?

Answer 1

Answer:

1250

Step-by-step explanation:

Reshma purchase: (90÷100) ×1350 =1500

Reetu purchase price: (100÷120)×1500

=1250

Answer 2

Consider case 2 first :

SP of watch (Reshma) = Rs.1350

Loss % on watch = 10%

CP of watch (Reshma) = (SP * 100)/(100 - Loss %)

= (1350 * 100)/(100 - 10)

= 135000/90

= 1500

So, CP of watch (Reshma) = Rs. 1500

Now consider Case 2 :

Here CP of watch to Reshma becomes SP of watch to Reetu

So, SP of watch to Reetu = Rs. 1500

Profit % on watch = 20 %

CP of watch to Reshma = (SP * 100)/(100 + 20)

= (1500 * 100)/(120)

= 150000/120

= 15000/12

= 1250

CP of watch to Reshma = Rs. 1250

Therefore the answer is Rs. 1250.
