Correct answer: (C) ₹2,650
Ravi's total cost + 486 grows by 15% to give 2875, so his cost before repair (Nikhil's selling price) = 2875/1.15 - 486 = 2500 - 486 = 2014; since this reflects a 24% loss for Nikhil, his cost price = 2014/0.76 = ₹2,650.

सही उत्तर: (C) ₹2,650
रवि की कुल लागत + 486 पर 15% वृद्धि से 2875 मिलता है, अतः मरम्मत से पहले लागत (निखिल का विक्रय मूल्य) = 2875/1.15 - 486 = 2500 - 486 = 2014; चूँकि यह निखिल के लिए 24% हानि दर्शाता है, उसका क्रय मूल्य = 2014/0.76 = ₹2,650।
