    Anil sold an item to Ravi at a profit of 15%. Ravi then

    sold it to Suresh making a profit of 25%. If Suresh purchased the item for Rs. 690, what was the original price Anil paid for it?
    A Rs.480 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.800 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.560 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the price at which Anil bought the item be Rs. ‘x’

    So, cost price for Ravi = 115% of x = Rs. 1.15x

    Then, cost price for Suresh = 125% of 1.15x = Rs. 1.4375x

    Therefore, 1.4375x = 690

    x = 480

    So, the price at which Anil bought the item = Rs. 480
