A manufacturer sells to a wholesaler at 25% profit, wholesaler to retailer at 20% profit, and retailer to customer at 28% profit. If customer pays Rs. 9600, find manufacturer CP.
ARs. 5000
BRs. 6000
CRs. 4500
DRs. 5500
✓ Correct Answer: A — Rs. 5000
CP * 1.25 * 1.20 * 1.28 = 9600. CP * 1.92 = 9600. CP = 9600/1.92 = 5000.
