Correct Answer: 50,000
Solution : Here CP denotes cost price and SP denotes selling price. SP for Vinay = INR 62700 Loss = 5% CP for Vinay $=\frac{100}{100-\text{Loss}\%}$ × Selling price $= \frac{100}{100-5}×62700=\frac{100}{95}×62700=66000$ SP for Navin = INR 66000 Profit = 20% CP for Navin $=\frac{100}{100+\text{Profit}\%}$ × Selling price $=\frac{100}{100+20}×66000=\frac{100}{120}×66000=55000$ SP for Akash = INR 55000 Profit = 10% CP for Akash $=\frac{100}{100+\text{Profit}\%}$ × Selling price $=\frac{100}{100+10}×55000=\frac{100}{110}×55000=50000$ Hence, the correct answer is 50,000.
