      Solution

      ATQ, Let cost price of the toy for shopkeeper = Rs. 100a Cost price of the toy  for 'R' = 1.2 × 0.75 × 100a = Rs. 90a Cost price for 'S' = 1.2 × (90a + 80) According to question, 1.2 × (90a + 80) = 2040 108a + 96 = 2040 108a = 1944 a = 18 Original cost price of the toy  = 18 × 100 = Rs. 1800
