    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ;

    Let the cost price of the gadget for Ravi be Rs. '100x'.

    So, cost price of the gadget for Prashant = 100x X 1.15 = Rs. '115x'.

    Profit made by Ravi = 115x - 100x = Rs. 15x.

    Cost price of the gadget for Rina = 115x + 15x = Rs. 130x.

    So, cost price of the gadget for Seema = 130x X 1.45 = Rs. 188.5x.

    So, required % = {(188.5x - 100x)/100x} X 100 = 88.5%.
