The correct Answer is:
To find the production cost of the washing machine whose retail price is ₹37,950, we need to work backwards through the profit percentages of the manufacturer, wholesaler, and retailer. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Retail Price (RP)**: The retail price of the washing machine is given as ₹37,950. 2. **Understand the Profit Percentages**: - Retailer gains 25% - Wholesaler gains 15% - Manufacturer gains 10% 3. **Calculate the Selling Price for the Retailer (SP_Retailer)**: The selling price for the retailer can be expressed as: \[ SP_{Retailer} = CP_{Retailer} \times (1 + \frac{Profit\%}{100}) = CP_{Retailer} \times 1.25 \] Therefore, we can express the cost price for the retailer (CP_Retailer) as: \[ CP_{Retailer} = \frac{SP_{Retailer}}{1.25} \] 4. **Calculate the Cost Price for the Retailer**: Using the retail price: \[ CP_{Retailer} = \frac{37,950}{1.25} = 30,360 \] 5. **Calculate the Selling Price for the Wholesaler (SP_Wholesaler)**: The selling price for the wholesaler can be expressed as: \[ SP_{Wholesaler} = CP_{Wholesaler} \times (1 + \frac{Profit\%}{100}) = CP_{Wholesaler} \times 1.15 \] Therefore, we can express the cost price for the wholesaler (CP_Wholesaler) as: \[ CP_{Wholesaler} = \frac{SP_{Wholesaler}}{1.15} \] 6. **Calculate the Cost Price for the Wholesaler**: Using the cost price for the retailer: \[ CP_{Wholesaler} = \frac{30,360}{1.15} = 26,420 \] 7. **Calculate the Selling Price for the Manufacturer (SP_Manufacturer)**: The selling price for the manufacturer can be expressed as: \[ SP_{Manufacturer} = CP_{Manufacturer} \times (1 + \frac{Profit\%}{100}) = CP_{Manufacturer} \times 1.10 \] Therefore, we can express the cost price for the manufacturer (CP_Manufacturer) as: \[ CP_{Manufacturer} = \frac{SP_{Manufacturer}}{1.10} \] 8. **Calculate the Production Cost of the Washing Machine**: Using the cost price for the wholesaler: \[ CP_{Manufacturer} = \frac{26,420}{1.10} = 24,018.18 \] ### Final Answer: The production cost of the washing machine is approximately **₹24,018.18**.
