Correct Answer: 39191


Solution : S sells an item costing Rs. 37800 to P with 8% profit.
Buying price for P $=\frac{100+8}{100}×37800=\frac{108}{100}×37800=40824$
Now, P sells the item to Q with a 4% loss.
$\therefore$ Selling price for P $=\frac{100-4}{100}×40824=\frac{96}{100}×40824=39191.04\approx39191$
Hence, the correct answer is 39191.
