Q:

'A' sold an article to 'B' at a profit of 20%. 'B' sold the same article to 'C' at a loss of 25% and 'C' sold the same article to 'D' at a profit of 40%. If 'D' paid Rs 252 for the article, then find how much did 'A' pay for it?

A) Rs.196 B) Rs.210
C) Rs.200 D) Rs.235

Let the article costs 'X' to A
Cost price of B = 1.2X
Cost price of C = 0.75(1.2X) = 0.9X
Cost price of D = 1.4(0.9X) = 1.26X = 252
Amount paid by A for the article = Rs. 200.
