Solution

The correct option is D Rs300
P 20 % profit −−−−−−−−−− Q 25 % profit−−−−−−−−−−

let C.P of P be Rsx

profit of P=Rs20x100S.P=Rs(x+20x100)=Rs120x100

S.P. of P=C.P of Q.

Profit of Q=Rs (120x100×25100)=Rs30x100

S.P=Rs (120x100+30x100)=Rs150x100

S.P of Q=C.P of R.

Now , C.P of QC.P of R=Rs 90

Or, 120x100150x100=90

Or , 30x100=90x=300

C.P of P=Rs 300
