Anupam sells a painting to Bhargava at 4/5th the rate of profit at which Bhargava sells it to Chaudhary. Further Chaudhary sells it to Dara Singh at half the rate of profit at which Anupam sold it to Bhargava. If Chaudhary earns a profit of 10% by selling it to Dara Singh for Rs. 2805. What is the cost price of painting from Bhargava?

- 1896
- 2040
- 1680
- 2000
Correct Option: B
From question, Chaudhary's profit = 10%.
So, Anupam's profit = 20%
Bhargava profit = 25%
Now Let cost price for Anupam = Rs. 100
So cost price for Bhargava = 120
Cost price for Chaudhary = 150
Cost price for Dara Singh = 165
Since the cost price for Dara singh is 2805 which is 17 times of 165. So the cost price for Bhargava is 120 x 17 = Rs. 2040.
