Cp=100x---------------->cp=125x---------------------->Cp=147.5x--------------------------->CP=147.5x+432
Sp=125x 25%P SP=147.5x 18%P SP=147.5X+432 P=RS.432
(Arunima) (Bushan) (Charunya) (Divya)


let us consider the CP of Arunima is 100x. Then the SP of arunima is 125x which is the CP of Bushan he made a profit of 18% i.e (18(125x)/100)+125X=147.5X which is the Bushan's selling price and Charunya cost price.Charunya made a profit of Rs.432.So Charunya SP=147.5+432.Which is in turn the Cp of Divya

And we have the information CP(divya)-Cp(Arunima)=1287
147.5x+432-100X=1287
solving for x we get x=18. Therefore CP of Arunima =100X=1800; and the Selling price of Arunima=125x= Rs.2250.
