A sells a bicycle to B at a profit of 20%. B sells it to C at a profit of 25%. If C pays Rs. 225 for it, the cost price of the bicycle for A is?
Options:
(A) 277
(B) 268
(C) 270
(D) 150
(E) 282 Stream of consciousness:
125% of 120% of A = 225
125/100 * 120/100 * A = 225
A = 225 * 2/3 = 150.
Thus, the answer is (D).
