A sells a television to B for ₹4,860, thereby losing 19%. B sells it to C at a price that would have given A a 17% profit. Find the gain of B.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. ₹2,160.

Amount for A sells the television to B = 4860

CP for A = (100/81) × 4860 = 6000

Amount at B sold the television to C = (117/100) × 6000 = 7020

B's Gain = 7020 - 4860 = 2160

Hence, B's gain is ₹2,160.
