Question 128

Harish bought a gas-chullah for ₹ 900 and later sold it to Archana at a profit of 5 % . Archana used it for a period of two years and later sold it to Babita at a loss of 20 %. For how much did Babita get it?

Answer 1

It is given that, Harish bought the chullah for ₹ 900 and sold it to Archana at a profit of 5%.

$\therefore$ Cost price of chullah for Archana = 900 + 5 % of 900
$=900+\frac{5}{100}\times 900=900+45$
= ₹ 945

Now, Archana sold it to Babita at a loss of 20%.
$\therefore$ Cost price of chullah for Babita = ₹ 945 - 20 % of ₹ 945
$=945-\frac{20}{100}\times 945=945-189$ = ₹ 756
Hence, Babita got chullah at ₹ 756.
