Labeled price=x
Buying price=x*75%
selling price=x*120%
Now,
x*120%=3200
x=3200*100/120=8000/3
So, Buying price=8000/3*75/100
=2000
Ans. 1

Let the labelled price be L
Given,
3200=0.2L+L
=> L = 3200/1.2 = 2666.66

Also given, Buy = 2666.66-0.25*2666.66
= 2000
= Option (1)

Profit=20%
S.P=₹3200
L.P=₹3200×100/120=₹16000/6
Discount =25%
=(16000/6)*(25/100)
=4000/6
C.P=₹(16000-4000)/6=₹12000/6
=₹2000
Hence my option is 1👈

labeled price =LP
the price at Arun sold the mobile=SP
the price at Arun bought the mobile=BP

BP=0.5*SP (1)
3200=1.2*SP (2)

from eq 2 >>>> SP=3200/1.2
put in eq 1>>>> BP=0.75*3200/1.2
BP=2000
