Person A sells an article to B at a 15% profit. B sells it to C at a 20% profit. If C pays Rs. 3450, find the cost price for A. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Explanation:
SP = 320*1.25 = 400.

Explanation:
Total CP = 100*10 = 1000. SP = 80*12 + 20*8 = 960 + 160 = 1120. Profit = 120, profit% = 12%? Wait 120/1000*100=12%, not in options. Let's check: actually 80*12=960, 20*8=160, total SP=1120, CP=1000, profit=120, profit%=12%. But option A says 4%. That's wrong. Let's recalc: maybe he sells 80 at Rs.12 each (960) and remaining 20 at Rs.8 each (160) total 1120, profit 120, 12%. Not in options. So this question is flawed. Delete and regenerate.

Explanation:
Profit = 48, profit% = 48/240*100 = 20%.
