X sells an item to Y at a profit of 28% on his cost and sells the same item to Z at a loss of 25% on his cost. If Y thus sold the item to Z a Tk. 2 less than the item to X, then what is the cost of the item to X?

  • A. TK. 200
  • B. TK. 200
  • C. TK. 200
  • D. TK. 200

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Purchase price of X = x

Selling price of Y =1.28x

Z=0.75 of 1.28x= 0.96x

ATQ, 

0.75 of 1.28x=x-2

Or, 0.96x=x-2

So, x=50
