      then sold it to Meera, earning the same absolute profit (in Rs.) that Neha made. Finally, Meera sold the product to Priya at a 60% profit. By what percentage is the cost price of the product for Priya greater than the cost price for Neha?
      A 180% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 124% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 140% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 110% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ;

      Let the cost price of the product for Neha be Rs. '100x'.

      So, cost price of the product for Sanjana = 100x X 1.2 = Rs. '120x'.

      Profit made by Neha = 120x - 100x = Rs. 20x.

      Cost price of the product for Meera = 120x + 20x = Rs. 140x.

      So, cost price of the product for Priya = 140x X 1.6 = Rs. 224x.

      So, required % = {(224x - 100x)/100x} X 100 = 124%.
