suppose cost priz is 100%
but he got that 10% discount so i.e 90%
but he sold more than 20% than cost priz so s.p is 120%
so profit is 30% i.e given 600
30%-------600
100%----- ?
(100*600)/30====>""2000""

Let CP be x
Gain% = 25%
Then SP = x*125/100
SP = 5x/4

If it had been bought at 10% discount
Then CP = x*90/100
CP = 9x/10
sold at 20% more that the earliest cost... [earliest cost means x]
Then SP = x*120/100 = 600+(9x/10)
6x/5 = (6000+9x/10)
12x = 6000+9x
3x = 6000
x = 2000

Ans : Rs. 2000

here,profit=25%
let cp=x.
then sp= x/125*100=5x/4 -----(1)
now brought at 10% loss then
sp= x/90*100 =9x/10 --------(2)
sold for 20% more than earlier cp i.e cp=x.
sp=x/120*100=6x/5 ------(3)
now profit =sp-cp
6x/5-9x/10=600 (using 2nd and 3rd equtn)
solve this you get x=2000.
