Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Solution: Find the original price A paid.
Let the price A paid be x.
After A's 20% profit, B's purchase price = 1.2 × x.
After B's 25% profit, final price C pays = 1.25 × (1.2 × x) = 1.5 × x.
Given final price = Rs 450, so 1.5 × x = 450 ⇒ x = 450 ÷ 1.5 = 300.
Answer: Rs 300
