Let the weight of the pieces of diamond be x, 4x, 5x, 6x Total weight of diamond = x + 4x + 5x + 6x = 16x Price = k(weight) 2 where, K is constant Original price = k(16x) 2 Price of pieces = (kx 2 + 16kx 2 + 25kx 2 + 36kx 2 ) = 78kx 2 Loss in price = 256kx 2 - 78kx 2 = 178kx 2 which is given as 89,000 = 178kx 2 = 89000 = kx 2 = 500 Original price = 256kx 2 = 256 x 500 = 128000
