Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 7550 Given: Mira’s Profit = 40% Ravi’s loss = 20% Dileep’s C.P = Rs. 8456 Concept used: S.P = C.P × (100 + P%)/100 S.P = C.P × (100 – L%)/100 Where, S.P → Selling price C.P → Cost price P% → Profit% L% → Loss% Calculations: Let Mira bought the phone for Rs. 100x C.P of the phone for Ravi = S.P of the phone for Mira = 100x × 140/100 = 140x C.P of the phone for Dileep = S.P of the phone for Ravi = 140x × 80/100 = 112x C.P of the phone for Dileep = 112x = 8456 ⇒ x = 75.5 Mira purchased the phone = 75.5 × 100 = 7550 ∴ Mira purchased the phone for Rs. 7550. |
