Ajith sells a table to Ajay at 10% profit and Ajay sells it to Anoob at 10% loss. At what price did Ajith purchase the table if Anoob paid Rs.2178?

Options
1) Rs.2100
2) Rs.2150
3) Rs.2200
4) Rs.2250

• Increase by 10% & decrease by 10% means there is a loss of 1% totally. That loss in 1% percent is added to Rs. 2178 to get actual price.
  1% of 2178=21.78
  2178+21.78=2199.78(=2200 appro).

• Let the cost price of table for Ajith be Rs.x and given that, cost price of table for Anoob = Rs.2178
  
  90% of 110% of x = Rs.2178
  
  (90/100) (110/100) x = 2178
  
  x = (2178*100)/9 *11
  
  x = Rs.2200

• Let Ajith bought at 100 rs. then he sold it to Ajay at 10 % profit= 100+10= 110 rs.
  Now Ajay sold it to Anoob at 10 % loss = 110-11 = 99 rs.
  So, 99 : 100= 2178 : x
  therefore, x= (2178 * 100) / 99 = 2200 ( Answer)

• Let initial price be x.
  now,
  if he sold at the profit of 10% then the price would become (x+10/100x)
  again,i he sells at 10% loss then overall it would become (1.1x)(0.9)
  now,
  if anoop paid 2178 then ans would be...
  (1.1x)(0.9)=2178
  x=2200
  so ans is 2200

• Increase by 10% & decrease by 10% means there is a loss of 1% totally. That loss in 1% percent is added to Rs. 2178 to get actual price.
  1% of 2178=21.78
  2178+21.78=2199.78(=2200 approx)

• As Ajay sold it at 10% loss so we can write
  
  x is the cp of ajay.
  Step 1 :- x - 10%(x) = 2178. // we have used - because ajay is in loss
  x - 0.1(x) = 2178.
  0.9x = 2178.
  x = 2420.
  hence cp of ajay is 2420.
  
  now we have to find cp of ajith.
  
  so y + 10%(y) = 2420. // we have used + because ajith is in profit
  same calculation
  y = 2420/1.1.
  y = 2200.
  
  so hence y is the cp of ajith
  & originally cp was 2200.

• ajay's loss=ajay's c.p. - ajay's s.p.
  0.1(x+0.1x)=(x+0.1x)-2178
  gives x=2200'
  where x=initial c.p. i.e. c.p. for ajith

• item price * 11/10 * 9/10 = 2178
  item price = 2200
  11/10 = profit
  9/10 = loss

• CP of ajit be x
  SP of ajit = (110/100)*x = C.P of ajay
  S.P of ajay = (90/100)* CP of ajay = CP of anoob
  (90/100)*(110/100)*x= 2178
  x=2200

• 100 110
  110 99
  
  100 99
  ? 2178
  
  100*2178/99=2200
  
  answer 2200

• percentage of loss=(10/10)^2=1%
  the actual price of the table=(100*2178)/99=2200

• 2200 let take initial price as 100.
  percentage of loss=(10/10)^2=1%
  the actual price of the table=(100*2178)/99=220

• let Ajith cost price =100 then Ajay cost price=Ajith selling price=110
  Now Ajay selling price=Anoob cost price=110-11=99
  99---->2178
  100----> ?
  2178*100/99=2200(Answer)

• X × 0.90 × 1.10 = 2178
  X = 2200

• let Ajith c.p.=c
  Ajith s.p.=1.1*c
  Ajay s.p.=anoob c.p.=0.9*1.1*c=2178
  c=2200

• Concept of 1% is completely WRONG in this case. Because 1% loss will be calculated on the actual price of the product. That means 2200. 2200*1/100= 22. and 200-22= 2178. Its not like 2178+1%of 2178 = ANS. This is wrong.

• let, the price of table is X
  and , the ajay sells it is Y
  Y-Y*10%=2178 (here 10% loss)
  Y=2420
  similarly,
  X+X*10%=2420 (here 10% profit)
  X=2200.
