John sells his laptop to Mark at a loss of 20% who subsequently sells it to Kevin at a profit of 25%. Kevin after finding some defect in the laptop, returns it to Mark but could recover only Rs.4.50 for every Rs. 5 he had paid. Find the amount of Kevin’s loss if John had paid Rs. 1,75,000 for the laptop.	Choose the most appropriate option:  A) Rs. 13,500  B) Rs. 2,500  C) Rs. 17,500  D) Rs. 18,500  E) None of these
Let’s assume John bought the laptop for Rs. 100,   He then sells it to Mark for Rs. 80,   Who consequently sells it to Kevin for Rs. 100,   Then, Kevin sells it back to Mark for Rs. 90 (Rs.4.50 for every Rs. 5 that he had paid initially), so he suffers a loss of Rs. 10,   Therefore, for Rs 100 there is a loss of Rs. 10,   Then for Rs. 1,75,000 there will be a loss of Rs. 17,500   ANSWER:Rs. 17,500
