Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. ₹4,000.

Final selling price (D bought) = ₹4554

C made a 10% profit

B made a 15% profit

A made a 10% loss

C's Cost Price  =45541.10=4140= \frac{4554}{1.10} = 4140 

B's Cost Price = 41401.15=3600 \frac{4140}{1.15} = 3600

A's Cost Price = 36000.90=₹4000\frac{3600}{0.90} = ₹4000
