Let cost price for A = Rs. $$100x$$ Loss % = 20% => Selling price for A = $$100x-frac{20}{100} imes100x=Rs.$$ $$80x$$ Thus, cost price for B = Rs. $$80x$$ Profit % = 20% => Selling price for B = $$80x+frac{20}{100} imes100x=Rs.$$ $$96x$$ Thus, cost price for C = Rs. $$96x$$ According to ques, => $$96x=480$$ => $$x=frac{480}{96}=5$$ $$ herefore$$ A purchased the article for = $$100 imes5=Rs.$$ $$500$$ => Ans - (A)
