profit. 'B' marked it up by 35% above the price at which 'A' has purchased it and then sold it after giving a discount of Rs. 684. If 'B' suffered a loss of 10% in the transaction, then find the cost price of the article for 'A'.Solution
Let the cost price of the article for A be Rs. x Therefore, cost price of the article for B = Rs. 1.1x Marked price of the article = Rs. 1.35x Selling price of the article for B = 0.9 × 1.1x = Rs. 0.99x According to the question, 1.35x – 0.99x = 684 Or, x = 684/0.36 = 1900 Therefore, cost price of the article for A = Rs. 1900
