A person \(X\) sold an Item to \(Y\) at \(40\)% loss, then \(Y\) sold it to third person \(Z\) at \(40\)% profit and finally \(Z\) sold it back to \(X\) at \(40\)% profit. In this whole process what is the percentage loss or profit of X?

  • A.70 %
  • B.62.5 %
  • C.57.6 %
  • D.55 %

Answer: C

Let the Cost Price \(= Rs. 100.\) for \(X.\)

\(Y's\) Cost Price \(= Rs. 60.\)

\(Z's\) Cost Price \(= Rs. 84.\)

Finally, \(X's\) Cost Price \(RS. 117.6.\)

\(\therefore X's\) loss \(117.6 - 60 = Rs. 57.6\)

\(\therefore X's \) loss percentage \(= 57.6\)%
