let X be the cost price of article to A
A sells To B = Rs. 45000.
X - 10% of X = 45000.
90X/100 = 45000.
X = 4500000 /90 = 50,000.
B sells it to C such tha A would have made a profit of 10 %
=> b sells it on 50000*10/100 + 50000
=55000
profit of b = (55000-45000)/45000 *100
= 10000/45000*100
=1000/45
=200/9 %

Let X be the price at which A will sell B to get 10% of profit.
A sells To B = Rs. 45000.
X - 10% of X = 45000.
90X/100 = 45000.
X = 4500000 /90 = 50,000.
So, 50000 would be selling price for B to C.
Gain = 50000 - 45000 = 5000
%gain = (5000 *100)/45000 = 100/9.
