Correct Answer: 3,600
Solution : Profit of wholesaler (Profit 1 ) = 5% of cost price of the wholesaler So, the selling price of the wholesaler = cost price of the wholesaler + 5% of cost price of the wholesaler = 105% of cost price of the wholesaler Profit of retailer (Profit 2 ) = 10% of the selling price of the wholesaler The selling price of the retailer = INR 4158 ⇒ The selling price of the retailer = selling price of the wholesaler + profit 2 ⇒ INR 4158 = 105% of cost price of the wholesaler + 10% of 105% of cost price of the wholesaler ⇒ INR 4158 = 105% of cost price of the wholesaler + 10.5% of cost price of the wholesaler ⇒ INR 4158 = 115.5% of cost price of the wholesaler So, the cost price of the wholesaler = $\frac{4158}{1.155}$ = INR 3,600 Hence, the correct answer is 3,600.
