    Question

    Two items, ‘D’ and ‘E’, were each sold for Rs.

    4500. Item ‘D’ was sold at a 20% loss, while Item ‘E’ was sold at a 25% profit. If the average cost price of Items ‘D’, ‘E’, and ‘F’ is Rs. 4200, determine the cost price of Item ‘F’.
    A Rs. 3375 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 3665 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 2565 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 1665 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ;
    Cost price of article ‘D’ = 4500 / 0.80 = Rs. 5625

    Cost price of article ‘E’ = 4500 / 1.25 = Rs. 3600

    Therefore, cost price of article ‘F’ = (4200 × 3) – 5625 – 3600 = Rs. 3375
