Correct Answer: Rs. 2838


Solution : Here CP denotes the cost price and SP denotes the selling price.
Use: SP = CP$(\frac{100+Profit\%}{100})$
SP = CP$(\frac{100-Loss\%}{100})$
SP of C = CP × $(\frac{100+10}{100}) × (\frac{100+7.5}{100}) × (\frac{100-25}{100})$
= 3200 × $(\frac{11}{10}) × (\frac{107.5}{100}) × (\frac{3}{4})$
= Rs. 2838
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 2838.
