Understanding/Application

Amount paid by Govind = Rs. 1320

Amount Mohan got after selling chair at a profit of 20% = Rs. 1320

C.P. of the chair for Mohan = (1320 × 100)/120 = Rs. 1100

Amount at which Ravi sold the chair after getting a profit of 10% = Rs. 1100

C.P. of the chair for Ravi = (1100 × 100)/110 = Rs. 1000
