A sold a tape - recorder to B for Rs. 4860 at a loss of 19% . Again B sold it to C at price that would give A a profit of 17% . The gain of B is = ?

Answer: Option C

CP of the Product = $$\frac{4860\times 100}{81}=6000$$
Loss of A = 6000 - 4860 = 1140
Now B sold the product to C with 17% profit of A
i.e. 6000 + 17% of 6000
= 6000 + 1020
= 7020

∴ Total Profit of B = 7020 - 4860 = 2160
% Gain of B   $$=\frac{2160}{4860}\times 100=44\frac{4}{9}\%$$
