Question

If the manufacturer gains 10%, the wholesale dealer 15% and the retailer 25% then find the cost of production of a table the retail price of which is Rs 1265?

• A. 600
• B. 800
• C. 700
• D. 900

Answer 1

The correct option is B 800

Let the cost of production of the table be Rs
Then ,125% of 115% of 110% of x=1265
$\Rightarrow \frac{125}{100}\times \frac{115}{100}\times \frac{110}{100}\times x=1265$
$x=\frac{1265\times 100\times 100\times 100}{125\times 115\times 110}$
$x=800Rs.$
