Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 4000 Given: Profit of A = 10% Profit of B = 5% CP of C = Rs. 4620 Concept used: SP = (100 + Profit)% × CP Calculation: Let CP of A be Rs. x. SP of A = (100 + Profit)% × CP of A ⇒ SP = (100 + 10)% × x ⇒ SP = 110/100 × x ⇒ SP = 11x/10 SP of A = CP of B ⇒ CP of B = 11x/10 SP of B = (100 + Profit)% × CP of B ⇒ SP = (100 + 5)% × 11x/10 ⇒ SP = 105/100 × 11x/10 SP of B = CP of C ⇒ 105/100 × 11x/10 = 4620 ⇒ x = Rs. 4000 ∴ The cost price of A is Rs. 4000. |
