Question

A sells a bicycle to B at a profit of 20%. B sells it to C at a profit of 25%. If C pays Rs. 225 for it, the cost price of the bicycle for A is:

• A. Rs. 110
• B. Rs. 120
• C. Rs. 125
• D. Rs. 150
• E. Rs.159

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Rs. 150

125% of 120% of A = 225

$\frac{125}{100}\times \frac{120}{100}\times A=225\Rightarrow A=\left(225\times \frac{2}{3}\right)=150.$
