Answer 2

Answer:

Tom purchased the bicycle at cost of Rs.1500.

Step-by-step explanation:

Case 1: Tom sells a bicycle to Ram.

Profit = 25%

Cost Price = Selling Price - Profit.

CP1 = SP - CP1*25/100

CP1 = SP - 0.25CP1

SP1 = 1.25CP1

Case 2: Ram sells to Hari

Loss = 20%

Selling Price SP2= Rs.1500

Selling Price of Case 1 is Cost Price of Case 2.

So,

CP2 = SP1

CP2 = 1.25CP1

Selling price 2 = Cost Price 2 + 20% Loss

SP2 = 1.25CP1 - 1.25CP1*20/100

1500 = 1.25CP1 - 0.25CP1

1500 = CP1

Therefore, Original Cost Price of the bicycle = Rs.1500
