-
- Rs. 250 loss if bought from B and
Rs. 150 profit, if bought from C
Explanation:
If SP of B=x, then SP of A=0.75x and SP of C=0.75x*100/125=0.6x
As buyer buys at Rs. 750 from 'A' , so 0.75x=750, x=1000 and 0.6x=600
Hence SP of A=750, B=1000, C=600.
So if bought from B, then loss=1000-750=250 and if bought from C, then profit=750-600=150 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
