Price at which D bought the table from B and the Price at which P bought the chair from X is same. If the price at which W bought the chair is Rs. 600, then at what price D bought table? Correct Answer Rs. 336

A sold a table to B at a profit of 40%.

B sold it to D at a profit of 60%.

W sold a chair L to X at the loss of 20%.

X sold it to P at a loss of 30% and finally, P sold it to G at a loss of 50%.

Price at which W bought the chair = Rs. 600

The price is given by X = 600 - 20% of 600

= 80% of 600

= Rs. 480 

The price is given by P = 480 - 30% of 480

= 70% of 480

= Rs. 336 

According to question;

Price of the table given by D = Price of chair given by P

Price of the table given by D = Rs. 336

Hence, 336 is the correct answer.
