Correct Answer: INR 1,327.50
Solution : Ram sold the item to Ramesh at a gain of 18%. So, Ramesh's cost price (CP) is 118% of the original cost price. Ramesh's CP = $\frac{118}{100} \times 1250$ = INR 1475 Ramesh sold the item to Shyam at a loss of 10%. So, the selling price to Shyam is 90% of Ramesh's cost price. Selling price to Shyam = $\frac{90}{100}\times1475$ = INR 1,327.50 Hence, the correct answer is INR 1327.50.
