If Aditya sells an article to Nutan at $10 \%$ gain, while Nutan sells it to Manish at $20 \%$ gain at $Rs.\, 1914$ then what is the Cost Price in $Rs.$?

A

$1450$

B

$1340$

C

$1560$

D

$1780$

Solution

Let the original price bought by Aditya $=$ $Rs. 100$

Aditya Nutan Manish

$100 \stackrel{10 \% \text { gain }}{\longrightarrow}$ $110$ $\stackrel{20 \% \text { gain }}{\longrightarrow}$ $132$

If Manish bought goods at $Rs. 132$

Initial $C P=R s .100$

Now, Manish bought goods at $Rs. 1914$

Initial $C P=Rs.$ $\left[\frac{100}{132} \times 1914\right]=$ $Rs. 1450$
