A sold an article to B for rs 8925 at a loss of 15%. B sold it to C at a price that would give A a profit of 19%. What is the profit of B (in rs) if he spent rs 1000 on repairs of the article?1. 34702. 35703. 24704. 25705. 2670

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 2570

GIVEN:

SP for A / CP for B = 8925

Loss % of A = 15%

Profit % of B = 19% of A's Cp

Spent on repairs = rs 1000

EXPLANATION:

A sold at 15% loss i.e 85% of CP

If 85% of CP is 8925 100% will be = \(\frac{8925}{85}\times100 = 10500\)

CP for A = 10500 

B sells at 19% profit on A's CP i.e = \(\frac{119}{100}\times10500 = 12495\) 

SP for B = 12495

B'sprofit = SP - CP = 12495 - 8925 = 3570

But he spent rs 1000 on repairs

So, actual profit = 3570 - 1000 = 2570
