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.
