Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: Rs. 350

Solution : Given: P sells a toy to Q at a profit of 40 percent and Q sells it to R at a profit of 10 percent.
Let the cost price (CP) of the toy for P be Rs. $x$
According to the question,
$x×\frac{100+40}{100}×\frac{100+10}{100}=539$
⇒ $x=539×\frac{100}{110}×\frac{100}{140}$
⇒ $x=350$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 350.
