    C Rs. 3,200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 2,400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let, 'P' bought the item for Rs. '8x'. So, the selling price for 'P' = Cost price for 'Q' = 1.125 X 8x = Rs. '9x' Selling price for 'Q' = Cost price for 'R' = (2/3) X 9x = Rs. '6x' ATQ, 6x = 1800 Or, x = 300 So, the cost price of the item for 'P' = 8x = 8 X 300 = Rs. 2,400
