Question

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

• A. Rs. 632.50
• B. Rs. 800
• C. Rs. 814
• D. Rs. 834.34

Answer 1

The correct option is B Rs. 800

125% of 115% of 110% of p = 1265.
$\therefore \frac{125}{100}\times \frac{115}{100}\times \frac{110}{100}p=1265or\frac{253}{160}p=1265.\therefore p=\left(\frac{1265\times 160}{253}\right)=Rs.800$
