Suraj sold drone at Rs. 6300 to sahoo and incurred a loss of 10%. Sahoo sold the same at 15% profit to parth, parth gained 20% profit when he sold the drone to manish. What is the difference between cost price of drone for manish and suraj? Correct Answer Rs. 1694

Given:

Suraj to sahoo = 10%

Sahoo to parth = 15%

Parth to manish = 20%

S.P. of drone for suraj = Rs. 6300

Formula:

S.P. = C.P. (1 + (profit%/100))

Profit% = ((S.P. – C.P.)/ C.P.) × 100

S.P. = C.P. (1 – (loss %/ 100))

Loss % = ((C.P. – S.P.)/ C.P.) × 100

Calculation:

Cost price of drone for suraj - loss = Selling price of drone for suraj

⇒ C.P. – (0.10 × C.P.) = 6300

⇒ 0.90 × C.P. = 6300

⇒ C.P. = 7000

Let, C.P. for sahoo be X

⇒ S.P. for sahoo = X × (1 + 0.15)

⇒ S.P. for sahoo = 1.15 × X

⇒ S.P. for sahoo = C.P. for parth

⇒ S.P. for parth = 1.15 × X × 1.20

⇒ S.P. for parth = C.P. for manish

⇒ here X = 6300

⇒ C.P. for manish = 6300 × 1.15 × 6/ 5

⇒ C.P. for manish = 8694

Required difference = 8694 – 7000

∴ required difference is Rs. 1694
