Q47 2024, CSAT 2024

A person buys three articles P, Q and R for ₹3,330. If P costs 25% more than R and R costs 20% more than Q, then what is the cost of P?

एक व्यक्ति ₹3,330 में तीन वस्तुएँ P, Q और R खरीदता है। यदि P की कीमत R से 25% अधिक है और R की कीमत Q से 20% अधिक है, तो P की कीमत क्या है?

Explanation Please wait..

Let's assume the cost of article Q is x.

According to the given information:

R costs 20% more than Q, so the cost of R = x + 0.2x = 1.2x
P costs 25% more than R, so the cost of P = 1.25 * 1.2x = 1.5x

Now, given, the total cost of all three articles is ₹3,330:

x + 1.2x + 1.5x = 3330
3.7x = 3330
x = 3330 / 3.7
x = 900
Therefore, the cost of P = 1.5 * 900 = ₹1,350
So, the correct answer is: (d) ₹1,350
