Step-by-step explanation:

This can be calculated 2 ways.

If the profit is 20% of revenue then the cost is Rs. 320

x=20% profit each

5x=sales price each [5*20%]

3x-2x=80 [The difference in profit is the constant value specified]

Cost is (5–1)*80

If the profit is 20% of cost of stock then the cost is Rs. 400

x=20% of cost

x=80 [3x-2x=80]

cost of stock=80*5

100%=400

Without disambiguation, the correct answer is Rs. 320 as the profit margin is used instead of the capital gain on the money invested in inventory.
