A.

B.

3750

C.

3800

D.

4150

Correct option is A

Given:
Pramod paid ₹3150.
Kanchan's profit = 5%.
Mohan's loss = 25%.
Formula Used:
SP=CP×(1+Profit100) SP=CP×(1Loss100)SP = CP \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{Profit}}{100}\right)\\\ \\ SP = CP \times \left(1 - \frac{\text{Loss}}{100}\right)​​
Solution:
Pramod's SP = ₹3150.
Mohan's CP = 3150125100\frac{3150}{1 - \frac{25}{100}}​​ = ₹4200

Kanchan's CP = 42001+5100\frac{4200}{1 + \frac{5}{100}}​​ = ₹4000
