Correct Answer: Rs. 2,050
Solution : Let the cost price (CP) for the whole seller be Rs. 100$x$. When a profit of 33% is added, then selling price (SP) = $\frac{133}{100}$ × 100$x$ = 133$x$ So, the CP for the retailer is 133$x$. SP of retailer at 20% loss = $\frac{80}{100}$ × 133$x$ = 106.4$x$ For the customer, 106.4$x$ = 2181.2 $\therefore x$ = $\frac{2181.2}{106.4}$ = 20.5 Therefore, the cost price of the whole seller = 100$x$ = (20.5 × 100) = Rs. 2,050 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 2,050.
