Correct answer: (D) 720
Working backward: Minu paid 1053 for a 50% profit, so Biru's cost (item + transport) = 1053/1.5 = 702. Subtracting ₹198 transport gives Biru's purchase price = 504, which is 70% of Arvind's cost x (after a 30% loss), so x = 504/0.7 = ₹720.

सही उत्तर: (D) 720
पीछे से गणना करने पर मीनू ने 50% लाभ पर 1053 चुकाए, अतः बीरू की लागत (वस्तु+परिवहन) = 702। ₹198 परिवहन घटाने पर बीरू का क्रय मूल्य = 504, जो अरविंद के मूल्य x का 70% है (30% हानि के बाद), अतः x = 504/0.7 = ₹720.
