      it to Nikhil at a 28% profit. If Nikhil purchased the item for Rs. 798.72, what was the original price paid by Varun?
      A Rs.557 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 Varun’s cost price be Rs. ‘x’

      Ritu’s cost = 112% of x = Rs. 1.12x

      Nikhil’s cost = 128% of 1.12x = Rs. 1.4336x

      So, 1.4336x = 798.72

      x = 557

      Hence, the amount Varun originally paid = Rs. 557
