    Question

    Balaram sells a Bluetooth device to Krishna at a profit of l2%. Krishna sells it to Arjun at a profit of 10%. If Arjun pays Rs.1,540 for it. what is the cost price of the Bluetooth device for Krishna?

    A.

    ₹1400

    B.

    ₹1250

    C.

    ₹1320

    D.

    ₹1370

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    Balaram sells Bluetooth device to Krishna at profit = 12%

    Krishna sells Bluetooth device to Arjun at profit = 10%

    Formula Used:

    Profit = SP -CP

    Profit Percent = ProfitCP×100\frac{Profit}{CP} \times 100​​

    Solution:

    Let the CP for Krishna be x

    Then Profit for Krishna = 10% of x= 0.1x

    Then selling price for Krishna  = x + 0.1x = 1.1x

    But Krishan sold Bluetooth device for ₹1540

    1.1x = 1540

    x=15401.1=1400 \frac{1540}{1.1} = ₹1400​​
